We did. And like most things in the UN, it's NATO+clients vs the rest of the world.

I was thinking of something a bit more meaningful than writing a letter. Trade sanctions maybe or divestment. Limits on travel (so Chinese students can't access western education)?

The US encouraging/requiring less trade with China is a lot less important than the US+EU+Canada/Mexico. Since those countries all seem on board in letter writing, why not approach them on something more?
