SUMMARY OF H-1B EXECUTIVE ORDER
- ENTRY BAN: No H-1B visa holder may enter the United States beginning Sunday September 21st, including current visa holders, unles they pay $100K to enter.
- VISA FEE: New H-1B and H-1B extensions must pay 100K to be processed and 100K per year every year thereafter to maintain them.
This will effectively end the H-1B program completely. No one, even the highest paid at 500K will be paying an extra 100K a year to the government.
It will destroy the health care, higher education, and technology sectors as we know them if this isn't struck down in court.
Harvard this year ranks Taiwan 4th globally on its Atlas of Economic Complexity AEC
The AEC tracks a country’s Economic Complexity Index, which considers the diversity & ubiquity of a country’s products. Basically how diverse& irreplaceable a country’s products are to the global economy.
Taiwan ranks high because its high tech products are highly complex & cannot be easily replaced by another country.
China, on the other hands, while an exporting powerhouse, ranks low because many countries can produce what it is selling globally.

Fun bit of history: the Navy won the initial contract to launch the first US satellite, because the US didn’t like the optics of it going to a bunch of German immigrants, using an adapted V-2.
The Navy’s rocket wasn’t ready in time to beat Sputnik, then blew up on the launchpad.

Which is insane — because the CCP leveraged TikTok to influence U.S. public opinion against tariffs on China.
What’s coming next will be worse. Beijing will leverage it in our upcoming elections. They’ve done it in Europe. They’ll do it here.
