>Economic sanctions should aim at the top of Chinese society. Magnitsky type sanctions on officials. Though an improvement over blanket sanctions, I suspect the rich would use it as an excuse to squeeze more out of the poor.

You'd be targeting potentially millions, and any borderline case is a PR disaster. Imagine something like "mailman for forty years loses savings due to US attack."
