According to an interview in Bloomberg Businessweek, Steve Bannon and Henry Kissinger have had several meetings and are preparing a project to sound the alarm about what Bannon views as the primary economic threat to America:
If we don’t get our situation sorted with China, we’ll be destroyed economically. The forced technology transfer of American innovation to China is the single biggest economic and business issue of our time. Until we sort that out, they will continue to appropriate our innovation to their own system and leave us as a colony — our Jamestown to their Great Britain, a tributary state.
This is a bit of hyperbole, referring to England’s Jamestown Colony of Virginia, formed in 1607, but it illustrates the fear that Bannon is presenting of a reversal of roles between China and America, with China becoming the dominant world economic power.

Both Bannon and Kissinger are experts on world and military history, and Bannon is also an expert on Generational Dynamics, so he understands that a new war between China and the US is approaching. As regular readers know, I’ve worked with Steve Bannon off and on for almost ten years.
Bannon frames the conflict with China in economic terms. He says that China is harming the U.S. by engaging in unfair trade practices, such as the forced transfer of U.S. technology to Chinese companies. According to Bannon, China’s historical disposition toward trading partners is exploitative and potentially ruinous:

It’s always about making the barbarians a tributary state. Our tribute to China is our technology — that’s what it takes to enter their market, and [they’ve taken] $3.5 trillion worth over the last 10 years. We have to give them the basic essence of American capitalism: our innovation.

second article by Breitbart News 9/29/17 is mostly quoting this article:

Here’s breitbarts:
“Bannon Puts Spotlight on China Threat for 2018: ‘The Single Biggest Economic and Business Issue of Our Time’”
Kissinger is a big time Globalist.
How does that make you have doubts? I have liberal friends who share the same certain beliefs as I do does that make them conservative? No. Your logic would be akin to Eric wear a shirt to show his support for communist causes. Sally wears a red shirt that too makes her communist.
Going through my many opened tabs I had been looking for updates on Kissinger. He spoke at a college after meeting with Bannon and said, “Our challenge is to find a way for American exceptionalism and China’s dreams to produce a new world order for the benefit of all.”
He’s trying to avoid WW3.
The article is from the South China Morning Post (9/27/17)
exerpts:
Last month, US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer began a formal investigation into whether China’s intellectual property policies are “unreasonable or discriminatory” under section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The investigation could take up to a year, and possible outcomes include a negotiated agreement with China, unilateral US remedies or a dispute settlement process in the World Trade Organisation.
Democrats and Republicans generally support the investigation, with the only vocal dissent coming from lawmakers who demand more immediate action. Kissinger avoided any specific references to these outstanding trade and investment issues, focusing instead on higher-level ideas and expounding on his vision for a new world order with the US and China at the centre.

Don’t know about you but the phrase New World Order always gets the hair on the back of my neck standing up.
As for why Kissinger thinks WW3 is (was?) is discussed here (mostly because of Obama and hildabeast’s failed foreign policy and China’s trade policy):
In 20 years, half the people in China will be over 60. I suspect they’ll have plenty of problems to deal with over there.
Kissinger seems to be trying to fix what a mess he made while in government. The balance of power has changed since then and I believe Bannon really does want America to come first in all issues without war.
That’s true but a lot of bad things can happen in those 20 years.
At the time, it was pretty shrewd to play the Chinese against the Soviets.
I wonder if they saw China as such a backwater, that they never imagined that they would ever achieve even 3rd world status, and be just some isolated sloth-like buffer state that we could sell stuff to while they kept the Russians busy and paranoid.
This srticle can’t be accurate. Henry Kissinger has worked for China for years, and represents their interests zealously. To him, they can do no wrong.
It surprises me when Kissinger shows up in headlines these days. Who knew he was still alive and able?
I was once made to wait for a new hotel room in Russia because they were putting him into mine. Back then, we were warned not to say anything in our rooms because they were bugged. Also, if the phone rang twice, that meant the phone was bugged. Yeah, obvious. Sure enough, as soon as I got into the new room... ring, ring.
“Your logic would be akin to Eric wear a shirt to show his support for communist causes. Sally wears a red shirt that too makes her communist.”
If both Eric and Sally wear those hammer and sickle red shirts, then you can bet a house that they are communists. Sometimes, most of the time, the simplest explanation is the truth.
“In 20 years, half the people in China will be over 60. I suspect they’ll have plenty of problems to deal with over there.”
Everybody thinks the old people are the problem. Why? This kind of mentality is why we can’t get rid of these outdated welfare programs for the elderly.
bannon’s credibility just went down fifty points for his having anything to do with Kissinger. Yuck!
They’ll start killing their elderly.
Kissinger? Steve, say it ain’t so.
