What if a reputed Communist Chinese spy, who pretends to oppose Xi Jinping and says that 99.999 percent of CCP members are good, was behind a new social media app to capture the data of anti-Communist, conservative, MAGA Americans?

Here’s Wang Yanping (“Yvette”), who runs operations for Miles Guo/Guo Wengui, the reputed CCP agent behind Gettr. She’s saying in September 2017 that she’s still a CCP member. She signed the $1 million contract with Steve Bannon.

The man behind Gettr has two models of the Statue of Liberty. One has her draped in the Communist China flag. The other has her holding “Quotations from Chairman Mao.”

Miles Guo Wengui, the man behind Getter, commissioned this model of the Statue of Liberty. In 2019 Guo had the model statue’s “July 4, 1776” tablet removed and replaced with Mao.

Guo and Bannon used the Communist Statue of Liberty models as props on their online show in 2019. They used these statues, in an approving way, in repeated episodes.
