If that was true, they woulda ended them already. Well, the last part especially. Of course they don't care about a few lives, but they do care about a certain level of international attention and pressure.
Not saying we might not see a tough military response, but they do need to walk a fine line here. Besides encouraging other revolts (though doing nothing will probably encourage revolts too) they risk slowing down their economy even further and yes, even international pressure and perhaps penalties.
