I feel like I keep seeing headlines like this, but nothing really changes. No country has the power, authority or even the international political weight to stand up to China. In generations to come we're going to look back at this moment and marvel at how everyone knew it was happening (unlike Nazi Germany where the allies only found out towards the end of the war) and yet done nothing about it. The current US administration cares more about curbing China's international political and financial influence rather than perhaps the biggest humanitarian issue since the Rwandan Genocide

If we compare China to Nazi Germany, the first legislation acts against Jewish Germans began in 1933, 12 years before the end of the regime. The rest of world was already aware of the abuse of Jewish Germans because they began to flee the country at that early time. Unfortunately, it is one thing to denounce an act and another to end it.
