Between the United States and the PRC is a full-fledged economic war. The winner of this grandiose battle will become the world hegemon for decades. This was stated by the chief strategist of the White House, Stephen Bannon.

A senior state official said that the two countries "are in a state of economic war". In this confrontation is carried out in the open: "They (the Chinese) do not hesitate to talk about what they are doing".

According to the chief strategic adviser to the US president, one of the two States in the next 25-30 years will be the hegemon. Therefore, the stakes in this game are very high. Bannon warned his country's authorities against rash steps. If America is "stuck in this way," then China will become a world leader, says the words of the strategist American Prospect.

"For me, the economic war with China is everything. And we must be manically focused on this. If we continue to give in, we will go through the point of no return in five or ten years and will never be able to restore our positions, "said Bannon.

He sees no reason to refrain from imposing economic sanctions against the PRC, since in the war all means are good. To threaten Beijing with the imposition of sanctions for violations in the field of copyrights, according to section 301 of the Trade Law of 1974. , Was his idea, notes the publication.

In order to squeeze this project, the official is ready to conduct a behind-the-scenes struggle against the federal treasury and the National Economic Council, who are afraid to quarrel completely with China and therefore oppose sanctions. US President Donald Trump shares his position, says Bannon, but his device is "going crazy".

Discussing with the journalists the North Korean problem, Trump's advisor said that China could play a decisive role in the settlement of the conflict. Beijing should conclude with the DPRK an agreement under which the North Korean nuclear program would be frozen, and Washington would then withdraw its troops from the peninsula. However, such a scenario is possible only in the distant future, the strategist stressed..

According to him, we should not give up economic pressure on Beijing in the hope that the Chinese will help to restrain Kim Jong-un. These two processes - economic confrontation and cooperation on the DPRK - must go in parallel.

Bannon is categorically against the military solution to the North Korean crisis. "Until then, until someone offers a solution that will show me that 10 million people in Seoul will not perish within 30 minutes of the use (Pyongyang) of conventional weapons - I do not know what you can talk about," he said, - said the official.

Earlier, the authorities of South Korea announced the impossibility of a military settlement of the problem. President of the country Mun Zhe Ying stressed that the aggressive rhetoric of Washington, Ashgabat and Seoul to Pyongyang is aimed only at providing psychological pressure. The US and its allies are not going to unleash a full-scale conflict.

The tense situation around the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has heated up to its limit in recent days, after the DPRK threatened to launch a missile strike at the US military base on the Pacific island of Guam.

However, then the North Korean leader abandoned this plan. The US President called such a decision "wise and reasonable".

Russia and China are trying to find a compromise in this dispute. The countries proposed to North Korea to declare a moratorium on missile launches and nuclear tests, and South Korea and the United States - to abandon military exercises in the region to restore the stable situation on the peninsula. However, in Washington this proposal was ignored.
