The Anglo American Alliance has difficulty applying to China their favourite method of divide and conquer as for example they did in former Yugoslavia, Libya, Ukraine and so on.
After all we can say that all these attempts did not go according to their plan so far in case of China.
The fact is that Han ethnicity makes up over 92% of the Chinese population in mainland China and 97% in Taiwan.
Also both the Muslim (Uyghur) and Tibet’s population makes up to 1%.
Many still remember the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest where the CIA unsuccessfully tried to provoke a split in China on the ideological basis in the name of "democracy and freedom".
Using Tibet and Uyghur Muslim population to destabilize China on religious and ethnic grounds also has not brought the satisfactory results.
However the last attempt to organize long lasting protests in Hong Kong was the most ambitious and comprehensive.
The idea was first to divide Chinese society on an ideological basis, using familiar rhetoric about freedom and democracy and then to apply the Balkan’s model taking into account the special status of Hong Kong as well as to include other Cantonese-speaking regions.
However, this plan also failed miserably because it has not met with a positive response in Macau, Guangzhou or Shenzhen.
It seems that the Anglo-American coalition must apply some more creative methods, perhaps something like a new modified opium war, in order to destabilize China.

A better question is:

Will China totally destroy the Uyghurs, Cantonese and Tibetans without any repercussion from the international, European and Muslim communities?

Seems like so.

As nobody is doing anything about China and the west(both EU and US) are carrying on signing even more trade agreements with China totally ignoring the plight of the Uyghurs, Tibetans and Cantonese.

I was expecting the OP to be about Biden's attempts to build an alliance strong enough to confront China rather than specific wedge points. I doubt Biden will have much success since he and Obama thought the best way to keep Germany within US orbit was to punish it with sanctions for building a new pipeline connecting it to Russia (Nord Stream 2) and because diplomacy is very time consuming. The TPP took many years of negotiation to finalise at which point Trump was elected and immediately cancelled its implementation.

The strongest message that Biden can send to Beijing is a U.S. boycott of the Beijing Games. The U.S. has only boycotted one Olympics: the 1980 Summer Games in Moscow, following the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. Just talking about boycotting the Beijing Olympics could be effective in tamig China. Last month, a group of U.S. senators introduced a resolution seeking to remove the Games from China, urging the International Olympic Committee to allow new bids for the Games.

The Biden administration has been playing down the idea of a U.S. boycott. But, significantly, when asked where the White House stood on the issue at a recent regular briefing, press secretary Jen Psaki said “There hasn’t been a final decision made.”

Do Olympic boycotts work?
Many say that attending the Beijing Games will be a “stain on our collective conscience,” as John Jones, campaigns and advocacy manager at U.K.-based NGO Free Tibet, puts it.

Jules Boykoff, a professor at Pacific University in Oregon, who studies the Olympics and represented the U.S. at soccer, says boycotts can matter. He cites the exclusion of apartheid-era South Africa as a a successful example of forcing change, with “athletes putting their careers on the line to stand up for what they believe in.”

But for IOC President Thomas Bach, sporting boycotts by themselves don’t work. In an interview with TIME in December, he said that in South Africa “It was not sport alone,” that helped dismantle racial segregation and oppression in the country. “You had an economic boycott, cultural boycott with regard to apartheid.”

He added: “Our role in this world is, first of all, about sport—and our social role is to unify and not to divide people. We are not a world government and cannot achieve what generations of politicians and U.N. general assemblies have not achieved.”
