The article shows that this is as close to an empty threat as it gets:
China already obtains only a handful of Hollywood films each year.
Apparently, Chinese audiences have come to prefer Chinese-made films in
recent years.

Hollywood movies to be distributed in China are subject to strict
censorship. On the other hand, I've personally had little motive to see
recent movies in years. If I think of it, I borrow something from the
library. There's so little new to watch on HBO or Showtime.
