It's not my intention to make this political, but it's odd to me that the current administration sanctioned the Saudis over the murder of a journalist, but has little more than stern words towards China over the Uyghur situation and cyber espionage. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they'll eventually do something.

There are no sanctions on Saudi Arabia, only on some minor officials.

I'm aware of that, but shouldn't we expect something either on par with that or something that goes even further than that when it comes to China?

The exact same kind of sanctions were imposed much further up the chain in China, yes.

And they are quite ineffective.
