Will the 2021 change in UK VAT rules affect drop shipping?

My client is based in the UK and I have heard that there is a 2021 change in UK VAT rules that will affect drop shipping. If he drop ships from China to UK he would have to register for VAT regardless of turnover & apply VAT at my point of sale. Ref article https://www.ecommerceaccountants.co.uk/post/dropshipping-vat-changes-1st-january-2021 "Outside EU (and UK) Suppliers to UK customers
UK VAT Position

Sales: From the 1st January 2021 you must collect/charge VAT on these transactions at POS.
Purchases: There will be no UK VAT to reclaim
When to Register

All businesses (including UK businesses) making these transactions must register from 1st January 2021"

I have the same doubt. Good question
