What are China's options as it seeks to respond to the Trump administration's actions with regard to Taiwan?

Much is being made of Trump's actions and statements about Taiwan. What are China's real options in response?

China can presumably damage the United States, perhaps quite severely. Choosing to do so would of course entail significant blowback as the US obviously has quite a lot of economic and military muscle to flex.

I'm interested specifically in where China's "risk thresholds" are likely to be. What actions might they take in response to Trump that they would treat as low risk, and what steps could they take that they would see as high risk and thus be more reluctant to take?
