Why do you think that's true?

The CCP, IMHO, is well aware that the real hard part is Western states even slightly slowing their roll on outsourcing every damn thing to China. Sanctions could absolutely work, but they're a double edged sword at this point.

China views what it is doing to Xinjiang as social policy- core to their identity.

Sanctions and trade pressure may swing the needle on some economic policy, but the "harmonious society" ethos is so deeply ingrained in how the CCP stays in power that I do not believe they are going to budge.
