An article about Guo Wengui, Bannon and Yan Limeng
The New York Times published a special article on former White House advisor Steve Bannon and fugitive Chinese businessman Guo Wengui, who used Dr. Yan Limeng to spread conspiracy theories about the Chinese virus for their own political purposes.Yan Limeng, who worked at the University of Hong Kong, claimed in 2020 that "the New Coronavirus is a biological weapon made in China," but has never produced scientific evidence, and has since been portrayed by Bannon and Guo as a right-wing media personality and "whistle blower" for New Coronavirus Pneumonia (Coronavirus Disease 2019, COVID-19). The U.S. far right and overseas anti-Communist alliances are making a lot of noise.
The New York Times analysis suggests that Yan Limeng's transformation is the product of a gradual alliance and cooperation between two groups: a small number of overseas Chinese who are trying to overthrow the CCP, and far-right figures who are highly influential in the United States. The article further points out how Bannon and Guo Wengui have used Yan Limeng to spread conspiracy theories about the virus to achieve their own political goals.
