Does the US sanction China like it does Iran? The only difference is that China is a larger market than Iran and is close to power parity with the US.

These sanctions are ineffective and disproportionately punish your average Iranian citizen, while we ignore the elephant that is China, which is far more dangerous as an adversary [1] [2].

Richard McGregor's work on the CCP is also very good and worth reading.

Orville Schell's Wealth And Power is also quite good for politics/history.
