  • Guo Wengui began his American adventure eight years ago, when he purchased the entire eighteenth floor of a penthouse on Fifth Avenue in New York City. He gained fame and notoriety within Republican politics, with Steve Bannon hailing him as the “Donald Trump of Beijing” and the “George Washington of the new China”, and gained the support of many of Donald Trump’s allies, including Rudy Giuliani, Michael Flynn, Peter Navarro, and Jason Miller.

  • Guo was a middle-school dropout from Shandong Province who had served time in jail before building a successful real-estate empire in Beijing. After fleeing China in 2014, he rebranded himself as a critic of the Communist Party and sought asylum in the U.S., where he gained membership at Mar-a-Lago and the admiration of powerful conservatives.

  • China specialists have speculated about what Guo was doing in the U.S. and where his money was coming from and going. Questions remain regarding whether he was simply making use of his old Beijing playbook to great effect in Washington, or if he was secretly connected to his old contacts at the Ministry of State Security in China, attempting to work his way back into power.
