The US didn't have to pay for going to war with Irak while lying about wmd and against the UN vote, nor pay for its mass surveillance program or the secret torture bases.
Why do you think China will pay for anything ? If a country is powerful enought, it will get away with anti democratic behavior without any consequences.
Today nobody can oppose china. They have more population, provide the entire world with most products and have the nuclear weapon.
They will keep doing what they want, and people will fake outrage and do nothing. In fact, US companies will keep complying with their abusive requests, like censorship, to not lose the market. CEO will pretend to care on twitter and keep it up.
After all, did we stopped buying phones and clothes from china when we learned they were made by child slaves ? We didn't. We can't even care as individuals, I don't see how our systems, which are groups of individuals, would bother when we dont.

What sort of question is this?

On the contrary, it paid about $3 trillion, depending on whose estimates you believe.

A real one. One that is not engaged with history revisionism. Or did china do a holocaust, or start WW3? I don't think so. China is a totalitarian dictatorship, but not really the only one, nor the worst. But they are not Nazis.
Apart from that, how about blocking trade with countries, that do attack other countries, based on caught lies and propaganda? And various other black things?
How would that help?
