The bigger picture: China is trying to determine which data is sensitive and should be regulated and restricted, *and also* which data is *not* sensitive and can be allowed to circulate freely.
The restrictions will, as the article mentions, increase burdens on foreign companies, and there will likely be a rough transition period. But the flip side is that once it's clear which data is not restricted, companies will be freed up to leverage that data.
