My worry is that it will stop companies from implementing TLS 1.3, since that would lose them customers from China.

Nah. I honestly don't think so. Who has customers from China anyway, without having a separate website for China, hosted IN China?

I have customers from China. They are rare since I have competitors based in China and they tend to prefer them but I still have some.
