Release Date: May 31, 2025

Introduction

In Episode 4527 of Bannon’s War Room, host Stephen K. Bannon delves deeper into the ongoing conflict between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The episode features a robust discussion with guest Spencer Morrison, author of Reshoring, as they examine the multifaceted strategies employed by the CCP and President Trump's initiatives to counteract them. The conversation spans trade negotiations, intellectual property theft, political warfare, and the influence of the CCP within global and domestic spheres.

Overview of the US-CCP Conflict

Stephen K. Bannon opens the discussion by framing the relationship between the US and the CCP as an "unrestricted warfare" that has been intensifying since May 2019 when the CCP declared it a people's war against the United States.

"We keep saying that the Chinese Communist Party has been at a people's war with us since May of 2019 when they declared it." [00:54]

Bannon highlights the awakening of both the American populace and President Trump to the CCP's aggressive tactics, setting the stage for a comprehensive examination of their strategies.

Trade Negotiations and Tariffs

Spencer Morrison provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of US-China trade negotiations, emphasizing the impact of tariffs and the broader implications for the American economy.

"The effective tariff rate right now is about 51%. I'd like to see it get up to just over 60%, but we're almost where we need to be." [02:07]

Morrison criticizes China's commitment to fair trade practices, detailing the substantial trade deficits and intellectual property (IP) theft that the CCP has perpetrated against the United States.

"China is responsible for about 80% of all global intellectual property theft. It costs America anywhere between 225 and 600 billion every single year." [04:19]

He underscores the necessity for Congress to pass a comprehensive trade bill to solidify tariff policies and protect American industries from CCP exploitation.

Intellectual Property Theft and Economic Exploitation

The discussion transitions to the CCP's systematic theft of American technology and intellectual property, which Morrison argues is central to China's rapid industrial and technological advancement.

"China has leapfrogged about two centuries in the last 40 years. And this was done through stealing technology." [06:15]

Morrison shares a personal anecdote about his great-grandfather’s experience with Chinese joint ventures, illustrating how American companies have been coerced into sharing proprietary technologies that the CCP later exploits for its own benefit.

Political Warfare and Media Infiltration

The conversation shifts to the CCP's political warfare strategies, both domestically within the US and globally. Morrison and Bannon discuss the infiltration of media and political systems by CCP operatives aimed at undermining democratic institutions.

"The major medias and social media platforms, big techs, they're controlled oppositions, right? They're all in bed with the Chinese Communist Party." [37:39]

Ava, another guest, elaborates on the CCP's success in political warfare, stating:

"They're extremely successful... their biggest headache is the truth." [23:47]

The guests highlight the CCP's influence in shaping narratives within influential Western media outlets, thereby obscuring the true extent of their manipulative tactics.

The Role of Grassroots Movements and Policy Recommendations

Morrison advocates for a grassroots movement to support "America First" policies, emphasizing the need for broad-based public support to counteract the CCP's influence.

"President Trump is well within his legal authority. But ultimately, what we have to do is Congress has to pass a comprehensive trade bill." [09:00]

He also outlines key policy areas that require attention, including vocational training, energy cost reduction, and the development of domestic supply chains to reduce dependency on Chinese imports.

The BRICS Alliance and Global Economic Shifts

Bannon introduces the topic of the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) and their efforts to challenge the US dollar's status as the world's primary reserve currency. He emphasizes the CCP's role in uniting the global south in an economic alliance aimed at diminishing US economic dominance.

"Understand the dollar as the prime reserve currency and you have to understand the importance of what this BRICS nations movement is." [16:12]

Morrison acknowledges the growing economic ties between Russia and China, attributing this trend to ineffective US trade policies that inadvertently drive these two powers closer together.

Media Infiltration and Public Perception

Bannon criticizes major Western media outlets for their biased reporting on US-China relations, arguing that these platforms often portray President Trump's efforts to sever ties with China as detrimental to the American economy.

"Every article in these papers is always tainted... it's negativity about why it can't happen." [37:39]

Roy, another contributor, supports this view by pointing out the CCP's infiltration tactics within media organizations, which hinder objective reporting on the CCP's malpractices.

Concluding Remarks and Call to Action

The episode concludes with a call to action, urging listeners to engage with platforms like Getter and the New Federal State of China (NFSC) to stay informed and support efforts to dismantle the CCP's influence. Bannon emphasizes the urgency of the situation, particularly with upcoming midterm elections that could significantly impact the trajectory of US-CCP relations.

"We have to work swiftly and boldly to taking down the Chinese Communist Party." [47:57]

Ava reiterates the importance of exposing CCP's infiltration in various sectors, including the judiciary, to safeguard American democracy.

"This is why we want to accelerate that." [41:21]
