China sanctions 28 US individuals including Pompeo for violating China's sovereignty
www.globaltimes.cnOver the past few years, some anti-China politicians in the United States, out of their selfish political interests and prejudice and hatred against China and showing no regard for the interests of the Chinese and American people, have planned, promoted and executed a series of crazy moves which have gravely interfered in China's internal affairs, undermined China's interests, offended the Chinese people, and seriously disrupted China-U.S. relations. The Chinese government is firmly resolved to defend China's national sovereignty, security and development interests. China has decided to sanction 28 persons who have seriously violated China's sovereignty and who have been mainly responsible for such U.S. moves on China-related issues. They include Michael R. Pompeo, Peter K. Navarro, Robert C. O'Brien, David R. Stilwell, Matthew Pottinger, Alex M. Azar II, Keith J. Krach, and Kelly D. K. Craft of the Trump administration as well as John R. Bolton and Stephen K. Bannon. These individuals and their immediate family members are prohibited from entering the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao of China. They and companies and institutions associated with them are also restricted from doing business with China.
and Bolton, Bannon +25 others

This prevents companies with ties to them doing business with China. As the article (or maybe it was the CGTN one) notes, many of these people make money when out of favor/employment by Republican administrations by becoming high paid C-suite types or board members in major Amerikkkan corporations and this will cause most of the big ones to guess twice. Admittedly they can probably still get jobs with defense contractors but it may prevent them from getting say jobs with the financial sector or companies with interests in manufacturing in China.
