European Union, UK, US and Canada have imposed sanctions on officials of CCP over human rights abuses against the Uighur minority group but nothing is very serious! As expected, those sanctions are not going to work! Why?
CCP of China has got used to this kind of insignificant sanctions that has been posted by western countries and they know how to deal with it in politics. Eventually, when time passes by, China still takes advantage from the western world! Nothing has been changed in human rights and freedom at all!
The last sanction was implemented by western countries in 1989 right after the Tiananmen Square crackdown but ironically several years later all western countries left those sanctions up for the economic reasons. The western enterprises were eager to do the business with Chinese and they also were targeting the entrance of China’s market so they redirected the politicians to a destination where they wanted to go!
Today, the western politicians have carried out another sanction but who will believe that it is going to work? Maybe, it is just another funny show for the communists to watch and they are probably laughing at us now!
History repeats itself! But, People(politicians and enterprises) never learn any lessons from the history!
If we really want them to follow our game rules, we need to take the sanctions seriously and enforce it completely this time! We need to let them feel the pain of sanctions and economic decoupling. Otherwise, CCP will never change!
