Yea, China definitely has problems no question about that. Xinjiang is one of the points I am most concerned with. However, the US doesn't take actions based on anything resembling goodwill towards others (we have a network of torture stations and kidnapping black sites don't forget). In many important ways, the US can be described as highly authoritarian, particularly when it comes to foreign policy (witness combinations of illegal invasions, brutal sanctions, and sometimes decisive support for death squads in Panama, Venezuela, Cuba, Iraq, Guatemala, etc).
I do think the world should bring more attention to Xinjing, but I don't think escalating tensions is going to do anything worthwhile (especially when I haven't heard a whit about the trade war being sanctions for humanitarian violations). The trade war is also not going to help American workers, capital controls would do that though.
