Overthrow of Bangladesh PM was indeed a US-sponsored regime change, maidan-style. Had less to do with China, and more to do with putting India in its place, after Modi's recent trip to Russia. Washington doesn't like India tipping the balance in favour of the other side, and feels India needs to be locally counter-balanced by a hostile Bangladesh. Students started protesting over hiring quota laws, and so the PM removed the quotas. But the courts, which aren't controlled by the PM, strangely decided to reinstate them and that brought the protesters back into the streets. PM petitioned the courts to reverse their decision, but in the meantime the protests got violent and so did the police response, and they started calling for the PM's resignation. She then fled the country yesterday for India, which she has very friendly ties with. It may no longer be possible for Indo-US ties to have a good future because of this. US & UK have both simultaneously announced they're withdrawing visas to Hasina, to prevent her from living in exile with them.
The last time India and the US clashed over Bangladesh was during its 1971 war of independence, when US & British fleets sailed into the Bay of Bengal, and China began a military buildup on the border with India. Moscow then ordered its own fleet into the area and began its own military buildup on its border with China to warn them all off. If they hadn't done that, millions would have died, and India would have been disintegrated. To this day, that timely intervention by Moscow is always cited by Indians as proof of why Russia will always be a better friend to India than the USA.
