"No - it's what makes him so dangerous"
"well looking back, we should have known Biden would hit us first, given his extreme inaccuracy"

Didn't know that European companies are facing harrassments from Indian bureaucrats for much longer than those suffered by the Chinese.

I’m looking forward to his follow up tweet:
“A colleague of mine forwarded some truly heartbreaking Uigger folk music to me on Apple Music. Ballads about Uiggers in detention (lockdown/ghettoes), Uiggers being mistreated by police (random stop and searches) and even up to killings by police. Surprisingly many of these songs are in what seems to be in English. You can listen to them yourself under the genre “Rap”. I believe this is the Uiggers’ name for their music in their dialect. Thanks Tim Cook for letting the world hear about these injustices!”
Your commentary on recent political developments in Pakistan would be very welcome.
@Mohsin77 , what is your assessment of the situation ? Will that pave the way for IK's return ? How will this PTI win impact Pakistan-China relationship for the short term ?
Edit : @ZeEa5KPul , you beat me to the questions. LOL
Islamaphobic Westerners only express faux outrage over Muslims in China and not the +600K innocent Muslims killed in US invasions of Iraq and Afghanisatn.
Well, the Army's top leadership tried the old "revolving door" tactic again, but it failed miserably this time.
In the past, whenever a civilian PM started to become too confident, they'd replace him with a rival. Historically, this was easy because the civilian PM would usually be corrupt and/or an idiot (#Nawaz, #Zardari etc.). But this time, the target was neither corrupt nor a complete idiot. Unlike his rivals, IK has actual credentials to lead and the people are willing to follow him. This includes the Army's own rank and file, which supported Imran Khan, and this caused a major crises within the Army.
PTI's marketing also spun this whole thing as a "US conspiracy" which helped their narrative immensely (even though it wasn't exactly accurate lolz), and it completely unbalanced the Army and opposition's strategy.
So, the whole plot backfired, and this was immediately apparent, starting from that night in April, when IK got sacked and millions of Pakistanis spontaneously rushed to the streets. That has never happened before. It changed the entire game overnight. Since that night, the COAS and his political minions have been isolated. This caused a complete clusterf*ck at the top. It was an institutional nightmare that just ended up costing billions and did untold damage to public confidence.
However, I'm kinda disappointed by Imran Khan as well, since he didn't decide to decisively defeat the status-quo, using a civil disobedience movement. Which means, that idiots like COAS Bajwa are going to remain in power (for now) behind the scenes, and they're not going to be held accountable for all the damage they caused.
Nevertheless... I guess it's incremental progress. A rude-awakening is sometimes needed to rid one of their delusions. Now, everyone in Pakistan knows how idiotic the Army generals are. (Even I was surprised... I mean, I knew they were dumb, but I had no idea they were THIS dumb lolz.)
Overall this isn't "revolution", but evolution.... Which is a good thing. But we still have a long way to go... and I mean generations.
Contrary to popular opinion, this whole drama didn't have much to do with geopolitics. It was a domestic power struggle, pure and simple, despite the propaganda/marketing. This is now obvious if you look at the fact that nothing has changed geopolitically even under the PMLN govt.
