Dear Charles:
There are several types of patents available in China to protect your product, the fastest of which would be a utility model patent.
My firm's website has a number of FAQs on patents in China, which you may find useful: http://www.lehmanlaw.com/resource-centre/faqs/intellectual-property/patent.html
You should also consider concluding Non-Disclosure Agreements with any manufacturer which you discuss your product with in China.
If you have further questions, you may contact me directly at elehman@lehmanlaw.com.
Regards,
Edward Lehman
