To the editor:

I trust that you and your readers are as upset and saddened by the Russian war on Ukraine as I am.

All of us want to help in some small way. Here is a big way you can help.

China is supporting Putin in his unholy war. President Xi is parroting Putin’s false assertions about the spread of Nazism in Ukraine and continuing trade with Russia.

Here is what every one of us can do. Stop buying anything made in China, not even a t-shirt. Check every label. Make sure the item is not made in China. We are their biggest trading partner. Show your outrage by your shopping choices. Even better if you find a substitute that says “Made in America.”

Your shopping choices will support democracy, not only in Ukraine but here at home.
