Practically, how do you see this working? I get it that very senior management could work with HR on information/promotion discrimination. But do you expect the rest of the company to have discretion in executing information security when so much information flows freely inside divisions? By seeing who has the thickest accents? Or perhaps people could wear bands on their shoulders? Why stop there--maybe we can mandate it in the public sphere too. I don't mean to be sarcastic or insensitive, but motives and intentions can be blurry.

Finance and law are decently adept at erecting information barriers. Roping off certain information to non-Chinese nationals would be annoying but with plenty of precedent.

I am not for or against this practice, but this is how it works in places like EA (minus the racist parts) where security is a concern. Different classes of employees have different colored door badges which is visually obvious. Unfortunately given the trends, being ethnically Chinese will now be another vector for potential job discrimination.

  It's like that in defense as well. It isn't practical or sensible to discriminate based on nationality. Like, it won't work, and in retrospect it will look as stupid as Japanese internment camps.

I think you would need to look at ITAR as an example. In that context, you need to restrict things to US nationals and there are complications for dual nationals. My guess would be that .gov will create some sort of regulatory regime around critical infrastructure.

  A nit, i believe ITAR is open to US Persons which would include greencards & permanant residence beyond those born in somoa or from overseas us citizens.
