<li>The investment logic of vaccine companies is different that of biotech. Generally speaking, vaccine companies cannot develop to large scale without successfully betting on big vaccine varieties.</li>
<li>The most fatal problem of CanSino is that there’re no other blockbuster varieties except COVID-19 vaccine. So, either CanSino develops a big variety,or it would gradually enter a vicious circle.</li>
<li>CanSino’s current valuation is at a low level. Even with many negative factors, that doesn't mean CanSino's stock price won't rebound. </li>
