Steve Bannon, cheering trade war, hopes for government to fall — in China by melissarossi199
BARCELONA, Spain — Forget Iran. The Venezuela crisis is for amateurs. When White House adviser in exile Steve Bannon embarks on regime change, he goes straight for the biggest, and, he maintains, the most dangerous one on Earth. That would be the one in Beijing.
Bannon also recently became director of the Rule of Law Fund started last fall by Kwok, also known as Guo Wengui, who fled to the U.S. in 2015 and is now seeking political asylum. Kwok was party last year to a staggeringly complex and monumentally inconsequential web of defamation lawsuits involving former Trump confidantes Roger Stone and Sam Nunberg, another Chinese businessman named Bruno Wu and Alex Jones’s website Infowars.
“The opening ceremony was so epic, so vast in scale and deep in history,” recalls Bannon, “that I knew the West had a real problem on its hands.” It spoke to the richness not only of China’s “4000-year history” and “deep culture,” but illustrated “massive ambition on a global scale.
“China's state capitalist system is designed specifically to exploit the Western democracies — to both steal and force technology transfers,” says Bannon. Of particular concern: Chinese telecom company Huawei, which Bannon and Kwok believe is a front for Chinese military and is underbidding in contracts worldwide to set up next-generation 5G wireless technology. Bannon says it will be able to “weaponize data,” turning it into “plutonium” wherever it sets up.
The two met in October 2017, shortly after Bannon left the White House and Kwok was interviewed on Voice of America—a planned 3-hour interview with that was cut short after an hour, when executives apparently grew concerned about Kwok’s “nuclear-grade” allegations about shady deals of China’s corruption czar Wang Qishan, whose investigations in 2014 first prompted Kwok to flee, when the businessman learned one of his allies in the government was facing arrest.
Bannon regards Mnuchin’s comment as a huge “strategic miscalculation that signaled to the Chinese that the Americans needed a deal.” Bannon also says, based on information from China, that Xi “was surprised by the number of countries” that showed up in late April for the three-day forum on China’s controversial “One Belt, One Road” infrastructure program that Putin praised.
