</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Steve Bannon and a Fugitive Billionaire Target a Common Enemy: China</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Stephen K. Bannon, the former strategist to President Trump, and&nbsp;<b>Guo Wengui,</b>&nbsp;who is wanted in China, have teamed up.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Just months after being pushed out of the White House, Stephen K. Bannon, President Trump’s former chief strategist, met with a fugitive Chinese billionaire at a suite in the luxurious Hays-Adams Hotel in Washington.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">The billionaire, Guo Wengui, who is also known as Miles Kwok, was living in New York City and had landed on China’s most-wanted list, accused of bribery, fraud and money laundering. He was also a dissident and fierce critic of Beijing, seeking political asylum in the United States. And Mr. Bannon — increasingly obsessed with the emerging China threat — was eager to talk about the Communist Party, corruption and&nbsp;<b>American naval operations in the South China Sea.</b></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Since their first discussion in October 2017, they have met dozens of times — in Dallas, on Mr. Guo’s yacht and, more often, at the billionaire’s $67.5 million apartment in the Sherry-Netherland Hotel, overlooking New York’s Central Park. The two shared a stage two weeks ago in Manhattan, at a news conference they organized to announce plans to set up a $100 million fund to investigate corruption and aid people they deem victims of Chinese government persecution.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“We both naturally despise the Chinese Communist Party,” Mr. Guo said in an interview last week, referring to Mr. Bannon. “That’s why we’ve become partners.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>It’s an unusual partnership between two political gadflies with a common, if overly grand, objective: bringing about the demise of the Chinese Communist Party.</b></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">One is an exiled businessman who claims to have evidence of corruption at the highest levels of government in China. The other is a former Goldman Sachs banker who delights in lobbing political grenades at what he calls the “party of Davos,” a band of global elites that he says has undermined America’s interests at home and abroad.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">As tensions between the United States and China grow, the two men are hoping to stoke them even further, by effectively calling for the overthrow of Beijing’s leadership. Mr. Guo is dipping into his fortune, while Mr. Bannon has agreed to provide a strategy.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Mr. Bannon is, in effect, reprising the role of political provocateur he played before joining the Trump campaign in the summer of 2016. Back then, he was running the conservative news site Breitbart, and helping promote conspiracy theories through the publication of books like “Clinton Cash,” which aimed to destroy Hillary Clinton’s White House bid.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In an interview in his hotel room two weeks ago, Mr. Bannon, 65, said the new China-related fund he will head, without pay, will gather evidence, share it with authorities — in the United States and elsewhere — and publish it in the media. The fund also targets Wall Street banks and law firms, which he says are complicit in China’s misdeeds.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The project, he says, is consistent with his populist and nationalist agenda. China’s reckless behavior, he contended, is endangering the global economy, and sapping America’s strength.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">“As a populist, this is outrageous,” Mr. Bannon said, noting that American financial institutions have helped back the worrisome global buying sprees of Chinese companies, with cash raised from ordinary people, including<b>&nbsp;government pension funds. “The elites in this country have to be held accountable. We have to get the facts</b>&nbsp;on the table.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Mr. Guo, 50, insists that the fund offers a way to strike back at Beijing. China has pressed the Trump administration to extradite him so that he can face a raft of charges in China — allegations he strongly denies. Billions of dollars in assets he controlled have been frozen by Beijin<b>g. And Interpol, the global police organization, has issued a warrant seeking his arrest.&nbsp;</b>He now travels with a phalanx of security guards, saying he fears for his life.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The Chinese Embassy could not be reached for comment. But the Guo-Bannon alliance has alarmed some analysts, who view the two men as purveyors of conspiracy theories fueling anti-China sentiment.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“The problem with these types of reckless, loose-cannon accusations is that they undermine the ability of responsible analysts and policymakers to identify the genuine cases of Chinese wrongdoing and fashion realistic and effective policy responses,” said Michael D. Swaine, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">For Mr. Bannon, the new effort plays to a longstanding and complicated interest in China. As a young naval officer in the 1970s, he patrolled the South China Sea. He also lived for a time in Shanghai, where he ran a small online gaming company. In recent years, he has come to view China as a military threat to the United States, and a fierce economic rival that refuses to play by the rules.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Trump adviser claims he got ‘quite a bit’ of info on Joe Biden from China after the president asked for it</b></font></div><div>
</div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Written by Igor Derysh / Salon October 10, 2019</font></div><div>
</div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">The Chinese government reportedly offered documents about the business activities of former Vice President Joe Biden’s son to an adviser to President Trump, just days after Trump publicly called on Chinese officials to investigate Hunter Biden’s dealings in that country.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">According to Michael Pillsbury, an informal Trump adviser whom the president has called “the leading authority on China,” Chinese officials gave him information about Hunter Biden’s business activities when Pillsbury visited Beijing last week.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">“I got a quite a bit of background on Hunter Biden from the Chinese,” Pillsbury told the Financial Times.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Pillsbury’s revelation came after he told Fox Business on Wednesday that he had raised the Biden issue while in Beijing.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><b>Despite his comment to the Financial Times, Pillsbury later denied making the statement to C-SPAN (despite clear evidence he did) </b>and told McClatchy that all of the information the Chinese gave him was based on newspaper articles. There has been no public evidence that Hunter or Joe Biden did anything illegal either in China or Ukraine.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“I have never had any conversation with President Trump about this at any time,” Pillsbury told McClatchy. “The information the Chinese gave me is just from the newspaper stories — nothing new.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">This comes after the FBI expanded its task force on election interference to focus on activities by China and Iran, as well as Russia. A law enforcement official told McClatchy that the Chinese hope to influence U.S. politics during the election “to promote their interests and policy preferences on various issues.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>
</b></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Pillsbury is a longtime fringe China hawk who rose to influence after Trump took office. He previously worked at the Pentagon under the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, and has been “dismissed by critics as a mix of conspiratorial and self-promoting,” Politico reported last year.</b></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Pillsbury’s contact with Beijing came as Trump publicly urged China to investigate the Bidens.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“China should start an investigation into the Bidens, because what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine,” Trump told reporters last week, even though his insinuations about the Bidens and Ukraine have been debunked. His comment came after he discussed upcoming trade talks with China, saying that “if they don’t do what we want, we have tremendous power.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Republicans have tried to downplay Trump’s public encouragement of a foreign power to interfere in the U.S. election, claiming that he was only kidding.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">“I don’t think that’s a real request. I think he did it to gig you guys [reporters],” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said last week. “I think he did it to provoke you to ask me and others and get outraged by it. He plays it like a violin and everybody falls right in, that’s not a real request.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Republicans made similar claims during the 2016 campaign, after Trump called for Russia to “find the 30,000 emails that are missing” from Hillary Clinton’s server</b>. Despite claims that he was just kidding, former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report revealed that hackers affiliated with the Russian military targeted Clinton’s personal office for the first time within hours of Trump’s comments.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">After reaching out to Republican leaders, the Associated Press reported that all of them were either “silent or supportive” of Trump’s call for China to interfere in the election.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“I don’t think there’s anything improper about doing that,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who chairs the Senate Homeland Security Committee, told the outlet.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>The only dissent came from the usual voices. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, called the move “wrong and appalling” while Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., said any investigation into the Bidens should be by American courts, “not communist tyrants running torture camps.”</b></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Trump has repeatedly raised his conspiracy theory that the Bidens did something illegal in China. Trump has claimed that Hunter Biden “got 1.5 Billion Dollars” from China. There is no evidence that Hunter Biden did anything illegal or that he made anywhere near that amount of money.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Trump is apparently referring to a joint investment fund that Hunter Biden’s company, Rosemont Seneca, entered into with a Chinese state-run bank, ABC News reported. That fund sought to raise $1.5 billion, but actually has just $4.2 million in capital, Hunter Biden’s attorney told the network, of which Hunter Biden holds a 10 percent stake. The attorney added that the deal with the Chinese bank happened months earlier than Trump and his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, have alleged.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Pillsbury’s efforts in Beijing, like Giuliani’s efforts in Ukraine, suggest that the president is quite serious about pursuing these conspiracy theories.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Speaking with Pillsbury on Wednesday, Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, himself a friend and adviser to Trump, said that the real scandal in Washington was not Trump’s pressure on foreign countries to interfere in the election but “the relationship between the Democratic Party and its collusion with China.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">“I tried to bring the topic up in Beijing,” Pillsbury replied. “Just tell me what happened with Hunter Biden. I have never seen them get so secretive in my life. They would discuss ICBM warheads rather than talk about what Hunter Biden was doing in China with Vice President Biden. That is a big area now where the Chinese know they don’t want any American probe into what happened with Hunter Biden.”</font></div></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
