Answer 1

There are different countries where human rights are voilated. Eg- China. The Uighurs muslims of china are deprived to follow their religion and practice their culture. Minorities in china are exploited. Even chinese people are forced to join military services irrespective of their interests. China is making policy such that if any citizen around the world criticises government will be punished without any jurisdiction. Many states of china want freedom from the communist government. People are not given rights to elect government. China's encroachment and expansionist policy are great threat to neighbouring countries and world peace. It also voilates non aggression policy and creates border tension. So, imposing a trade sanction on china will affects its economy and create a pressure on china. US is biggest trade partner of china and getting sanctioned by US will definitely have a bigger impacts on china. Chinese people are even not allowed to use American apps and services. There is no independent media in china. US being one of the largest democratic and powerful country to preserve the human rights across the globe by using strict trade policies and referendum among the Democratic countries of the world. So, US and it allies should stop trade from china.
