“The Chinese Communist Party is going to have to pay,” Bannon told CNBC host Joe Kernen. “I think the world’s going to hold them in judgement, and that judgement is not going to be very pretty. They owe trillions, if not tens of trillions of dollars.”

“We’re at war,” Banon said. “President Trump is a wartime president. This is a war on two fronts. On one front, it is about the pandemic and this unprecedented virus that came upon us. And the other, and let’s be brutally frank about it, is this war against the Chinese Communist Party. Both an information war and an economic war.”
