In the spirit of the old saying, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade" I offer this:
From what I've read thus far, Mr. Jack Ma, the founder and CEO of Alibaba, is a very hardworking and well-respected businessman.
Alibaba and Ma's consumer-auction website, Taobao.com, did so well that
in 2006, eBay shut down its own site in China.
Now if this guy is smart enough beat eBay at their own game, I want him on my team. And if you read the links, he's got a pretty impressive life story. In 2010 he began committing hundreds of millions for environmental issues , and he's big on philanthropy too.
