The Move Forward Party led by Pita Limjaroenat and Pheui Thai Party are pro-West according to my scarce information. I did not care one bit about Thai elections until a few days ago. I also think the younger demographic is anti-PRC because of media funded by the US and their allies. Brian Berletic knows a lot more about Thailand, elections and civil society.
Imran Khan has been arrested. What's next for Pakistan?
If I had to guess, the military probably retains power and Pakistan's decades of political instability continues. There doesn't seem to be enough momentum to overthrow the military establishment.

G-7 to help emerging economies move up supply chains for EVs, solar panels
Partnership with World Bank intended to develop manufacturing, cutting reliance on ChinaTOKYO -- The Group of Seven rich nations is considering a partnership with the World Bank to build more resilient supply chains for clean-energy technology by providing funding and other support to emerging markets, Nikkei has learned. The G-7 aims to lift these countries beyond resource extraction into the more profitable business of manufacturing products like electric vehicles and solar panels, by helping them secure the needed technology and infrastructure funding.
The G-7 is considering contributing capital to the World Bank for the effort. The hope is to spur more diversified supply chains, reducing the need to rely on China for strategically important products as the global decarbonization push accelerates. The proposal will be made at a meeting of G-7 finance ministers and central bankers in Japan starting Thursday, with the goal of reaching an agreement at next week's leaders summit in Hiroshima. The specifics would be hammered out within the year.
G-7 host Japan has invited outside countries including India and Indonesia to both meetings, where the proposal will be presented as a new avenue to support developing countries, such as resource-rich African nations. Rich nations will provide technical support and training. G-7 finance ministers and central bankers affirmed their intent to "support low- and middle-income countries to play bigger roles in supply chains" at their previous meeting last month in Washington.

Yeah, exactly.
If you ask me today, right now, what is more important, that the spook who wrote those anti-China reports at the Canadian Spy Agency come forward to explain and clarify the situation, or should they fire Shanhan and Dubas, et al, clean house, of course we know what is important. They should fire all of them.
If solar panels were easy to build Solyndra wouldn't have gone bankrupt.
They require similar clean, etch and deposition equipment that semiconductors do. They require solar grade wafers, not as strict as prime grade but not exactly something you set up in a shack. You still need a cleanroom.
Conclusion
CSIS needs to pin the blame on the Leafs situation on China
"CSIS Report: Shanahan and Dubas roster decisions influenced by CCP"
"China intimidated Florida Panthers into playing out of their minds"
World Bank? I'm still waiting on the Blue Dot Network, that's the real development program to look out for. Watch out, BRI!
