Amused. It's just saber rattling and propaganda. They've said similar things before. If they restricted exports it would hurt them too. (At one point they threatened to dump all their US treasury bonds, but that would also hurt them just as much as it hurts the US.)

Besides, plenty of other countries can make pharmaceuticals. It might cost more but we'd buy them.
