You overestimate length of the western outrage.

Anyway what's to sanction? Almost no country recognizes Taiwan. Diplomatically they changed one job in China to another

A good benchmark would be how long the west remains mad at Russia for invading Ukraine.

Who is "the west" in your eyes? I personally know plenty of people in the USA who are openly cheering for Russia in the conflict. So I don't think we could say that "the west" is mad at Russia. Certain people in western countries are, but plenty are quite happy with Russia and wish them well in their endeavors.

Cheering for the "West" means if West wins then please expect 1 million Iraqis (replace Iraq by any other country) dead just because.

This time or last time?
