Other ways you can take action:

Write to the Ambassador to China and tell him how you feel. Keep your letters brief and to the point. Try not to write with emotion. For example, say something like, “If you cease persecuting, imprisoning, and torturing your people for their beliefs, and end your culture of cruelty to cats, dogs and other animals, I'll resume my Made in China-buying habits”.
