It appears that the 28 officials of the Trump administration who are sanctioned by China have difficulties finding a lucrative job. The revolving door doesn't revolve very well this time as compared with the time of the Obama exit.
2/ Pompeo is said to have approached Group Koch, Exxon Mobil, Du Pont Financial Group, United Airlines etc, but none of them dares to take him on for fear of Pompeo destroying their business ties with China.
Every company is terrified of Pompeo running the business
3/the way he runs America.
Hitherto it was the US who sanctions other countries and nationals with total impunity. US never expected other countries would learn from them and strike back. When US sanctions, it sanctions the whole family totally disregarding the sacrosanct
4/ principle of individual responsibility and liberty. China has appropriated this precious little stratagem as her own.
China too will sanction the sanftioners, extending the punishment to the whole family. No Western press dares to accuse China of coercion or
5/ wolf-warrior sanctions, because all sanctions in this world pale against the US genocidal sanctions which are mass murders in nature.
What China did was a trial run of tit for tat retaliation.
Pompeo finally landed a job as a senior researcher at Hudson institute,
6/the ASPI of USA for an annual stipend of 80k$, almost a clerical salary. This would have been a good job for an ordinary American, but Pompeo is obviously not an ordinary citizen.
So the China sanctions cost Pompeo a paltry multimillion dollar pay package with stock options.
7 In business, companies expect their executives to smooth relationships, to be diplomatic, to maximize the company interests, to be circumspect and cautious. Reckless propaganda maybe good for America but is definitely lethal for a company. If the employees see
8/their executives making big bucks out of lying cheating everyday and if everyone follows suit, the company would soon be landed in the gutters...direction US is heading courtesy of the likes of Pompeo.
Kelly Craft, the US ambassador to the UN is also mindlessly anti-China
9/on all fronts. Her husband happens to be a billionaire coal-mining executive for Alliance Resource Partners, L.P., the third-largest coal producer in the eastern United States. Besides this, he also has numerous other business interests all of them heavily involving China.
10/It's said that Mr. Craft doesn't appreciate at all Mrs Craft's anti-China stance destroying his business prospects.
It's rumored that the company employing Mike Pompeo's son Nick Pompeo is also casting doubts on the junior's employability.
The corporate America doesn't
11/ stand up for "democracy", for the simple reason they know it's a big empty LIE.
The job prospects don't augur very good for China hating politicians. Currently, it's very difficult to find a big corporation which doesn't have huge business interests in China.
12/ Nobody wants to have their profits endangered by empty politics.
Unless the US government issues a anti-discriminatory law to force companies to hire people with severe handicaps, ie, those afflicted with China hating disease.
13/Love your customer, that is the credo of Corporate America. Companies can't afford to hire executives who hate their customers.

Important news not picked up by MSM: effectiveness of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines may be between 19-29%
According to British scientist Peter Doshi, the vaccine statistics of Pfizer and Moderna are probably "touched". If one applies stricter criteria, the effectiveness is
In the third phase trial, among the ones who received vaccine shots, all those whose PCR test results were negative were counted towards "effective" even though more than 3000 manifested Covid19 symptoms.
No follow up was carried
3/ out to see if the results would turn positive in the next few days.
Moreover, hundreds of people's statistics were discarded because of deviation from expectations.
So the shortcomings of the American vaccines are:

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz writes to President Xi
It appears that Starbucks CEO was worried after seeing the signing of the Sino-European Investment Agreement.
European companies will enjoy much more favorable conditions on the China market.
2/ So H. Schultz wrote a letter to President Xi congratulating him on China achieving moderate prosperity and at the same time exhorting him to guarantee the interests of US companies on the China market.
President Xi replied by asking Starbucks CEO to help remedy the Sino-US
3/relationship. Western media didn't mention Schultz' letter to President Xi in the first place as if China is the begging side. China respects reciprocal diplomacy. China's President wouldn't write to an US CEO out of blue. The position each occupies doesn't have
Human species has evolved to the current stage where the West, supposedly the most advanced section of sapiens has deemed the collective human behavior (China's hard lockdown and big data tracking) to adapt to the harsh reality of the environment for survival
2/ as "totalitarian human rights abuses".
Unfortunately virus doesn't know and doesn't cooperate with Western propaganda.
If virus had been more lethal, some part of the sapiens would have been wiped out. Chinese sapiens would have survived thanks to
3/ their "totalitarian human rights abuses".
In the evolutionary history of sapiens or animals, those who are able to adapt to the environment survived. Not the other way round. It's not for the environment to adapt to human needs or rights. It's for humans to adjust
Despite anti-China propaganda, there's a worldwide buying spree of "made-in-China" in 2020. Trend will strengthen in 2021. China is going from world's factory to world's super factory
China's exports have gone up 20% in 2020. One of the contributing
2/ factors is the wild increase in PPE and other medical supply orders China received from all over the world. As most factories are closed or unable to meet the heavy demands within a short notice, China as world's factory with huge manufacturing capacity has to step in.
3/ The 2021 key product of China's exports would be Chinese vaccines. Given the advantage of safety, effectiveness, easy transportability and affordability, as of now, 40 countries have expressed the purchase intention and 16 countries have already ordered 500 million vaccine
other medical supplies for the world hit hard by Covid.
Successfully developed safe viable affordable easily transportable Covid vaccines and proposed latter as a public health product for the world, especially for poor countries.
2/ Eliminated absolute poverty. Provided long-term sustainable livelihoods to 100 million poorest people.
Sinovac vaccine has gone through the third phase of its clinical trial. The protective rate is 79.34%. Though It looks lower than the 90-95% protective rate announced by Pfizer, Modena and Russian vaccines, one must bear in mind
2/ that China uses the traditional method of virus inactivation which produces a lot less undesirable side effects. And even when side effects do manifest, it's within the known and expected range. There's a lot less uncertainty.
It's to be noted that the protectiveness
3/of traditional flu vaccine is about 60-70%. So a 80% is pretty respectable. Highly concentrated antibodies have been detected in everyone receiving the vaccine. Even if 20% of the people may still catch Covid19, the symptoms will be a lot milder and won't necessitate
