Jan Jekielek: Steve Bannon, excellent to have you on American Thought Leaders.
Stephen Bannon: Listen, thank you so much for having me.
Mr. Jekielek: Steve, so in September, you’re going to be releasing “Claws of the Red Dragon,” a film that’s going to expose Huawei, the Chinese telecom giant. Tell me more.
Mr. Bannon: Well, one of the issues about Huawei, it’s the technological arm of the PLA. It’s a driver in 5G and quantum computing throughout the world. And whether it’s Western Europe, Canada, the United States, or Australia, people, particularly citizens, don’t really understand what’s in back of Huawei, the deception, what’s been in this indictment. So New Tang Dynasty TV was making a pilot for the beginning of a series. I got involved a couple of months ago, and I said, listen, this is exactly what the Canadian people and the American people need to see, which is a drama, not a documentary … Great acting, great photography, great music to really allow the citizen to understand what the situation is with Huawei. So I’m very excited.
This is a very powerful film. It talks about the arrest of the chief financial officer who is also the daughter of the founder. I think it opens up and explains in a dramatic form exactly what’s going on with China’s encroachment into the technology area throughout the world. People will be shocked when they see it. I’ve already tested it with some people. I’ve tested it here in the United States in Washington DC. Yes. I’ve had a couple of test screenings of the rough about a month ago. Tested it with some fairly senior people in the US government, and they were stunned by some of the revelations in the film.
And so that’s why I told Dr. Joe … we’ve really got something I think very powerful here. And what I’d like to do is make a big deal about the opening in Canada. And what I’m doing right now, I’m fielding calls from all throughout the world, Australia, Europe, and the United States, to cut distribution deals so the entire world can see this. I think they’re going to be very, very impressed.
