Pakistan is a long-time ally of China, with the former leader Imran Khan an avid admirer of China's progress and poverty eradication success and wants to follow. That was an affront against the glory of democracy, indicating that socialism is working better globally and had perhaps been the impetus for his removal and the installation of a pro-USA leader, Shehbaz Sharif, who is in charge. A regime change that has succeeded without a doubt.
Shehbaz Sharif just visited Washington in late September. We do not know what transpired, but certainly not what is not to be expected. What does a pro-USA stooge do when in Washington never is about sanity or peaceful co-existence.
Trump had gloated earlier about taking back Bagram Military Base from the Taliban, a base he claimed was built by the USA and he wants it back. It was actually built by the Russians and later used by the USA for nefarious activities linked to punishment and torture of prisoners. As we know very well, Trump needs a proxy to do his bidding and starting a new proxy war with Afghanistan. So, here comes Pakistan into the picture. After that meeting in Washington, we know what was agreed, with even Shehbaz Sharif going to the extent of nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
China is moving closer in its relations with Afghanistan and the conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan is testing its divided loyalty towards the two countries. It was undoubtedly a move that was created to sour relations between Pakistan and China.

Trump has been invited to attend the ASEAN meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and is already trying to take credit for the peace deal between Thailand and Cambodia, if what I assume Channel New America is trying to portray. Thousands of Malaysians, that have been tarnished as just Pro-Palestinian supporters, have protested against the attendance of Trump, that augurs nothing positive but trouble.
Inviting the devil into the house is not a smart move, and Malaysia is also straddling two boats by joining BRICS and trying to appease the USA. Malaysia had never been cordial in its relations with the USA since the era of Mahathir.
US media Politico quoted several anonymous US officials as saying that the prerequisite for Trump's attendance at the ASEAN summit was that "the Malaysian government must agree that Trump preside over the signing ceremony of the peace agreement between Cambodia and Thailand during the summit", and China was "excluded from the ceremony activities"，so as to "ensure that the focus is on Trump". When asked whether the situation was true, some officials even stated that "China has not played a role in the negotiations."
Cambodia and Thailand reached a phased solution under the framework of ASEAN, which should have been a positive example for promoting regional peace and stability. However, the unreasonable demands put forward by the Trump administration have not only raised widespread doubts in the international community about its mediation purposes, but also run counter to the common consensus among regional countries to resolve differences through dialogue and consultation.
It should be noted that since the outbreak of the conflict, China has been promoting peace talks by taking into account the comfort levels of both Cambodia and Thailand. The Special envoy for Asian Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China has made multiple trips to Cambodia and Thailand for shuttle diplomacy. Representatives of the three countries held an informal meeting in Shanghai to promote a genuine ceasefire. The foreign ministers of China, Cambodia and Thailand reached a 'Anning Consensus' to further consolidate the ceasefire situation. 'A major country shall act like a major country.' Although China does not take credit for it, no one can deny the constructive role it has played in the peaceful resolution of the border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand. Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia, the current chair of ASEAN, all highly appreciate the irreplaceable role played by China. The US side, in stealing other people's credits for its own interests, attempts to elevate itself by excluding China. Not only does it ignore the truth of the matter, but it also reveals its narrow political thinking. This can't help but make people question whether the US is a "peacemaker" or a "peach picker".
If the US insists on excluding China from the so-called "peace ceremony", it will only expose its narrow motives of seizing the "fruits of peace" and undermining the "ASEAN way".
Thanks Anon 10.34 for providing the background of how the credit for the peace deal between Thailand and Cambodia had been hijacked by the USA. Stupid Malaysia is a shame for ASEAN, having to buckle under USA demands.
Now, I also want to talk about Trump raising another 10% added tariffs on Canada, just because Canadians quote Ronald Reagan's speech about tariffs and why it is a bad idea, which rattled Trump. Trump calls the Canadian's side highlighting Reagan's speech to counter the USA tariff measures as a 'fraud'. My goodness, this man-child cannot tolerate people exposing his lies and goes all out to silence them. Canada must not allow itself to be stepped upon and do the right thing.
Having said that, Canada is still a White men's country, and the final outcome may be that it will still support the Anglo-Saxon White clique when the shit hits the fan. The case of Meng Wanzhou is testimony to my thoughts. China must attempt to see the forest from the trees and do what it deems best.
Trump is so delusional, he believes in his own lies. Everyone is wrong and he is the only one who has all the right answers and moves. He has twisted logic into fraud, truth into fantasy and leadership into privilege to throw tantrums.
That says all about the man who had six bankruptcies to his name. Oh, did I say it wrongly, a fraud to say so and is all not true.
