War is clearly not an option given China's thin-skinned nature, inexperienced military (yearning for battle as we can see in the border with India) and firebrand government. I think really biting, heavy sanctions that cover more than a dozen assholes in Xinjiang who probably don't even have bank accounts would be a good start. But what do I know, I just feel terrible that these things are happening and the UN seems impotent to do anything about it.
