A few days ago I did a thread explaining how rich Chinese exile Guo Wengui concocted a false claim that that US is closing its embassy in China. Guo did that to try to promote his largely fictional "New Federal State of China" and associated nonprofits/businesses.

Today, Steve Bannon dutifully went along with his boss Guo's lie, calling the totally false notion that the US is closing its embassy in Beijing "a huge step for the New Federal State of China." Bannon surely knows the embassy is not closing. He's lying. gettr.com/post/pr1kny4943
What actually happened is that the US diplomatic mission in China asked the State Department to allow the "authorized departure" of US embassy staff/families who want to avoid strict Covid-19 measures ahead of the Olympics. cnn.com/2022/01/26/chi…
Bannon and Guo are pretending a request by some US diplomats to leave China amounts to the US severing diplomatic relations with it. That's a false, idiotic claim. Also they're pretending the "New Federal State of China" had a hand in this, and will benefit from it. All nonsense.
Why are Bannon and Guo telling this ridiculous lie? Because they have lots of fans in the Chinese diaspora who they are trying dupe into thinking the New Federal State of China is real/influential. That helps Guo raise $ from those fans for his business ventures and nonprofits.
