What to Make of #GuoWenGui
When #SteveBannon was arrested on fraud charges, he was sunning on the yacht of #GuoWenGui, also known as #MilesKwok . Guo, a powerful Bannon funder, is facing an FBI investigation into a company of his own—also linked to Bannon foreignpolicy.com/2020/08/26/guo…
“Guo is often labeled as an activist or a dissident, but he is neither. He is a familiar type in emigre circles: the man who loses a power struggle at home and then flees abroad, where he tries to present himself as offering insider insight into his home country.”
“Guo’s departure from China in 2015 was not a matter of conscience; he participated in high-level business and political affairs until he left. But he was closely tied to longtime security minister Ma Jian, and when Ma fell it prompted Guo’s permanent departure.”
“Guo promptly entangled himself in U.S. political affairs, where he has made claims about CCP corruption, became close with operatives such as Bannon, and faces an array of lawsuits, including charges of sexual harassment. He says the lawsuits are cooked up by the CCP.”
“Western policymakers should be wary of figures like Guo. As U.S. relations degenerate with China, the space for those like Guo to operate will grow.”

Bannon is thick-skinned! And who is lying?
