STEVE Bannon really does not like China. I’m not sure what China did to him but he’s made it his personal mission to go after them with everything he’s got.

The story goes that when he was a young naval officer in the 80s, he was so outraged by the fact that US warships patrolling the South China Seas had to sail with their radar “down” (meaning not tracking sea traffic), that this warranted, in his view, nothing less than the Seventh Fleet being let loose upon the People Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).
