China using families as 'hostages' to quash dissent abroad

What to do about it without starting World War 3? Here are some of my ideas:

- Heavily tax or cut off business with them, with an explicit linkage between specific evil behaviors and the monetary costs / damages to Chinese businesses. They don't understand morality as we do, or they wouldn't do this kind of crap. But they definitely understand dollars and cents. And if their trading partner is willing to make sacrifices to hurt them, maybe that will be enough incentive to change their ways.

- Talk about it. This should be in the national news, addressed by PotUS at international events, and so on. Most people realize this is evil as soon as they hear about it. So the more people find out about it, the more people will rightly be horrified, and the greater chance they'll have enough collective power to stop it.

- Support Taiwan. No more of this "maybe it is, maybe it isn't" hand-wringing. Say explicitly "We decided Taiwan is the legitimate government of China because the CCP is too evil to be in charge of a corner supermarket, let alone a country." Yes, China won't like it. That's the point: The only way you can get someone with no moral compass to not do evil things is by implementing unacceptable consequences for the evil things they do.

Which of China’s many bordering nations isn’t supremely suspicious of their antics?

Does Xi really not know how stupid their political ideology is? Most every other Asian state is developing rapidly without constantly imprisoning political prisoners.
