It will put pressure on the CCP to act like humans. The same happened with France and their anti-Islamic rhetoric after the Muslim population boycotted French products. The CCP is already committing atrocities against its Muslim population, and a stop needs to be put to it.

I take OP's point but...the Chinese people guard the concentration camps, the Chinese people hack and attack other nation's infrastructure, and the Chinese people are ultimately the ones who put the bullet in the gun to kill you. Say what you will about the Chinese government, but it is still the Chinese people that keep it in power. The people are not blameless.

If you lives in China you will know Muslim and all other minority is privileged in China. Yet the media likes to render them as slaves. Then they can show they are the only humanist.

  The Uighur Muslims are forbidden from practicing their religion, and are force fed pork and wine. They're prohibited from fasting in Ramadhan. They are exploited in factories. This is well known, don't deny it.

    Adding "This is well known, don't deny it" won't make your saying automatically turns to truth. Let me show you some number, there are 24 thousands masjids in Xinjiang now (only 1.4 thousands in 1980s). If their religion is forbidden, why the number of masjids is growing?

      Do you have a source on the numbers? I found a 2020 article stating that ~16000 mosques (65%) were destroyed, mostly since 2017 https://www.aspi.org.au/report/cultural-erasure https://www.aspi.org.au/report/cultural-erasure
