As far as I know, he should go back to china to re-apply H-1.See below, it for F or J, not sure H-1:

The U.S. Department of State has changed the "automatic revalidation of visa" benefit that allows F or J students and scholars to travel to "contiguous countries" (Canada, Mexico and adjacent islands other than Cuba) for trips of 30 days or less and return to the U.S. even if the U.S. visa stamp in their passport is expired or their immigration status has been changed.

Citizens from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan, North Korea, and Cuba will not be allowed to re-enter the U.S. at any time with an expired U.S. visa stamp, even if the trip is only to a contiguous territory.

Additionally, under this change, F and J students and scholars from all countries who go to Canada or Mexico to apply for a new visa will not be allowed to re-enter the U.S. on an expired visa stamp if the new visa is not approved at the U.S. Consulate. Students and scholars from all countries, other than the seven countries listed above, can still visit Canada and Mexico and re-enter the U.S. on an expired visa stamp, as long as they have not applied for a new visa and been denied.

For students and scholars making arrangements for visa applications in Mexico or Canada, this has a significant effect. If the application for the visa is denied, the student or scholar would in most cases need to depart from Mexico or Canada to their home country to apply for a new visa to re-enter the U.S.
