I think that if China is looking to de-escalate tensions, a great way to do that would be for them to start following their own domestic laws and international commitments they have already agreed to. I think sanctions always need to be weighed carefully.
In this case, this is why Freedom House and others have advocated for carefully placed sanctions on the individuals who are guilty of actual abuses, not widespread sanctions that would hurt the Chinese people. I think that's critical to remember.
