"What isn’t so easy to understand is where Bannon got the money to fund his global anti-globalist campaign—his World Bank of moral bankruptcy. He’s too scared, of course, to fess up about it, even when directly asked, but speaks in reverent tones about (and with) two men: John Thornton, a former Goldman Sachs president who chairs the world’s largest gold-mining company and has a long history of investments in China, and Miles Kwok, a.k.a. Guo Wengui, a Chinese billionaire forced to flee China after allegations of bribery, kidnapping, money-laundering, fraud, and rape before settling in the United States and joining Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach. (Spoiler alert: At the end of the film, we learn that Kwok has funded a Rule of Law Fund to the tune of $100 million. Who manages the fund? Bannon, of course.)" https://www.vogue.com/article/steve-bannon-documentary-the-brink-review

Then you've got Bannon on the We Build the Wall Exec Management Team, with Retired Brig Gen (Air Force) Robert Spalding who is a "critic of China" and Erik Prince who has (via Frontier Services Group) significant security training and logistics (Belt Road Initiative) business interests in China. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-xinjiang/erik-prince-had-no-knowledge-of-training-agreement-in-chinas-xinjiang-spokesman-idUSKCN1PQ4FJ
