This is sweeping, cutting, geopolitical commentary of the highest order. The vulnerability of the West, the rot in the Intelligence community, and what he calls the Chinese plan to “Capture the Elites” of the West.
He talks about the failure of the West to protect Hong Kong — “this is the 1930s, and Hong Kohng is the Czechoslovakia of the modern era.” “We will rue the day…”
According to Bannon, “what makes this work is the slave labor model of China”.By keeping wages low they keep workers all around the world working as serfs. In a globalist world, when workers in the West compete with slave labor camps, in the end, they have to become them too. Trump broke that model.
“The greatest export China has is ….the serf state.”

It’s interesting all the way through.
You want to look at the decline of Britain, look at the failure in Hong Kong.
We didn’t defend it.
Bannon says Trump needs to appoint two special counsels, one on China, and the other on the intelligence community:
When this is done, what we will see is the rot in the intelligence community… They had the laptop from Hell for a year. They knew, and they said nothing.
Donald Trump was the first to single out that China is not the enemy, the Chinese people are not the enemy, but the Chinese Communist Party is.
The CCP policy, according to Bannon, is to capture the elites in the West. The CCP don’t want to fight on the military playing field, they would rather turn nations into tributary states. (Jo thinks that the CCP probably also recognise that the stronger the self-serving elites are, the weaker the West is).
In Davos, the most elite people in the world gather. They know about the problems in China, — the Uigers, the organ donation, the slave labor — they know it all, and they do what they were going to do anyway. Nothing.
What stands in the way of the unholy alliance between the CCP and the elites of the West are populist governments — and the Chinese people who want freedom and haven’t had a single day of it in five thousand years.
