How do you politically pressure them exactly? Other countries you might threaten to cut off aid or recind arms deals or refuse plane sales, etc. China doesn’t rely on any of those things. In fact Boeing relies on China to buy planes to stay profitable. How are you supposed to sanction your 3rd largest trading partner which your first and second partner also relies on. The allies would either revolt or the global economy goes into depression.
People always talk about sanctions, but unless you’re sanctioning Cuba or North Korea, sanctions can be as damaging to the countries doing the sanctioning. Fully sanctioning China would essentially mean cutting ourselves off from the world’s top manufacturer, which would hurt the U.S. way more than China now that their domestic economy is in full swing.
Not to mention that most if not will American-based multinationals would never go along with it.
