Why does Bannon favor Himalaya coin?
Bannon has waged a public campaign against the Chinese government for years. Comments last week from Bannon indicate this is the latest front in that battle. Himalaya Coin’s debut this month also stands out because China widened its crackdown on the use of cryptocurrencies in September.
During an interview, Bannon called Himalaya Coin’s debut “monumental” and put it in the context of his fight against China. “If you look at the institutionalization of the counteroffensive to the Chinese Communist Party, it’s pretty impressive,” Bannon said.
