Exactly.
CPC can apply the squeeze by denying entry to any pro-independence forces and cutting off their business links.
CPC is far too accomodating to Tibet independence, Uighur independence, Hong Kong independence and Taiwan independence.
China needs to be a lot more ruthless.
Use Chinese intelligence agencies to do what the CIA does to America's enemies. Make the life of pro-independence forces an absolute living hell.
China always plays defense, instead of playing offense.
Look how US does that to Russia in terms of economic sanctions, travel bans, pressure on Russian sports, pressure on Russian companies, pressure on Russian leaders.
China need to take a page out of the US playbook and find weak points and constantly apply pressure on them.
