Perhaps they could prevent legal extradition to the mainland? I think that people in Japan, South Korea and most importantly Taiwan watch what is going on. China has all the cards to play, but they will hurt their soft power if they are too draconian.

Either we really have an issue recognizing modern day genocide or our modern day society is far more tolerant of draconian action than your comment implies.
