I'd forbid Chinese goods from entering Canada and expel the Chinese Ambassador, while at the same time recalling our Ambassador.
I'd also require all Chinese citizens applying for a visa or already in Canada to reapply for the visa from China.
If China wishes to sell goods to Canada they can pay huge surcharges for Export Duties.
Basically Screw China.
As tempting as it is to ban Chinese goods, I don't think we can do that under WTO rules. Our options may also be limited by that trade deal Harper's government signed with China in 2014 (that we cannot get out of for 30+ years).
However, I'm sure we could delay Chinese goods by scanning each container (slowly) coming from China to ensure they aren't tainted, just like they've done in the past to our meat and canola exports. I'm of the opinion that our actions should mirror that of belligerent nations.
The visa changes you suggested for Chinese citizens are easy enough to implement.
Unfortunately, Trudeau has shown he's very reluctant to take any aggressive steps against Chinese aggression.
