Wang's investments in the U.S. have attracted the attention of some U.S. lawmakers, who have called for tougher government scrutiny of such deals.
Wang brushed aside those concerns, saying the U.S. had nothing to fear.
"So far, the U.S. government has not launched any censorship or control of entertainment," he said. "That would be a step back."
But Wang also made clear that there would be consequences if the U.S. chose to interfere.
"If China were to retaliate, it would be bad for both parties," he said, adding that he had asked the head of the Motion Picture Association of America to tell President-elect Donald Trump: "No war, please."
But it's far from a level playing field. China already enforces strict controls on American entertainment companies, limiting the number of Western movies that can be shown in cinemas, and censoring their content.

Buying a major Hollywood studio would make Wang a top player in the industry. He already owns the AMC Theaters chain, and is active in film distribution. A major studio would give him control of film production, too.
If a deal were to materialize, he pledged to take a hands-off approach with the studio.
"It's still a company run by Americans," he said. "We won't interfere with content. We just want the profit."
