Eh, just because they throw the broad label "national security" on the project doesn't mean it has limitless value to them.

At the end of the day, the CCP is rather obviously optimizing for maintaining its rule. An economic slowdown caused by multilateral UN sanctions would pose a far greater threat to the CCP rule than the Uighurs ever have.

The problem is that the world generally doesn't pay that much attention to global human rights issues and citizens of developed countries currently care more about the money they're making from China than its human rights (and other) violations anyway.

Agree with your second paragraph though.

Sanctions...who's asking for them? No one. China would take everyone's econ down. USA placed sanctions on Iran, BUT, Saudis agreed to produce more oil for example.

With the amount of money China has and the size of their "enemy" limitless is the right word. Let's not forget that China has built 50 MILLION apartments just to do something. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=china+emp... All they have to do is blacklist them: behave like a Muslim and your doors are essentially closed...no jobs, credit etc etc.
