This is a really interesting point that I haven't considered. Namely, regulatory arbitrage is going to yield enormous benefits in the medical AI space. The sheer amount of data needed to train the model requires data centralization the west has no desire to move toward. But if China does crack the nut, it seems like it will necessarily create an upheaval in the west, whether we like it or not.
My personal opinion is that a lot of Medical professionals are simply gatekeeping at this point of time and using legal definitions to keep changing goalposts.
However this is a theme that will keep on repeating in all domains and I do feel that gradual change is better than sudden, disruptive change.
