Revoking the special trade deals we had with HK that were contingent on them remaining semi-autonomous. (IIRC, about a sixth of all US trade with China goes through HK)
Revoke various academic cooperation programs.
Ending our extradition treaty. (Can't sever that one fast enough, considering this all started over an extradition law)

Sanctions against anyone involved in creating, passing, or enforcing the new laws on HK. (Did we just sanction the Politburo?)
