One thing China can do to retaliate is by banning Western luxury brands. Western luxury brands make massive profits from China but do not actually facilitate any Chinese industries or affect significant portions of Chinese consumers.
So the West kill their renewable energy and EV sectors by banning Chinese polysilicon and batteries, impoverish their consumers with more expensive clothing, tampons, and other cotton products, and lose the massive easy profits from luxury goods. China, on the other hand, will shift luxury spending from $30,000 handbags and $1,000 lipsticks to local consumption that keep the money in China and stimulate the domestic economy.

According to a statement published on the website of the Committee, a meeting was held with the Iraqi delegation in the Committee's central office.
During the meeting, the Iraqi side was informed of the details of the investigation concluded about mass executions and secret burial of refugees killed by
The Iraqi side also received information on the progress and results of the investigation into the crimes against humanity, propaganda for war, and willful endangerment of others, as well as details related to violations committed by such as illegal acts including deportation, cruelty, torture and deliberate failure to provide assistance that led to the death of refugees from West Asian countries, including Iraq and Afghanistan.
The statement mentioned that these crimes had been assertedly committed on the basis of race, nationality, nationality, and religion.
According to the statement, investigators documented criminal actions committed against 135 Iraqi citizens, who were physically injured as violence was used against them by Polish security forces."
The Investigative Committee of Belarus is also investigating three cases related to bodily harm and illegal expulsion from the EU to Belarus, which led to the death of Iraqi citizens.

On January 25, Poland's border guards announced the start of construction of a 186-kilometer (115-mile) fence at the border with Belarus after thousands of migrants from West Asia streamed to the border in an attempt to cross into the European Union.
Well, comparing to other Muslims, Xinjiang Muslims live in a happy life because many Westerns journalists care about their personal security, then Chinese government need to protect them security, teach them in social class so that they can get a job. This is unfair to other Muslims
Is there a non pay wall version of the article?
China will only hurt herself by retaliating in kind, this won’t hurt China much as they can divert polysilicon to their internal market and build up rooftop solar to 50% of buildings. It’s simple to divert previously EU bound products to SCO, GCC and North African countries, where they can be re-exported or used.
They need to create more internal demand for cotton now. Perhaps everyone should get a new wardrobe, different styles maybe.
However, for the sake of face, they probably will respond, I just hope they find a clever way that doesn’t inflict self harm like western sanctions. Chinese wisdom is needed here.
Someone mentioned these are EU sanctions, so for me it’s better to sanction more EU officials and anti China misinformation spreaders, journalists and politicians instead of EU countries‘ goods and services, which is self defeating and hate generating.
Edit, As these sanctions are related to Human Rights then China can also sanction anyone that abused Europeans human rights too, just not the regions when it happened. But the perpetrators or the systems.
Thanks!
