    Illegal according to who?

    The US? Why would China care, they are their own country with their own laws.

    International courts? Who is enforcing those judgments?

        It’s not about laws at this level but about whether it is worth to do vs possible repercussions

        Again, what repercussions? Who will enforce an ICC judgement against the CCP? Laws aside, what possible actions could be taken? I guess sanctions but that’s unlikely over something like this.
