Former investment banker and political strategist, Steve Bannon, has also been producing films for years. One of his latest productions, “Claws of the Red Dragon,” is a fictional take on the real-world arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Canada—here renamed Feng Xiaozhou (played by actress Jennifer Hsiung).
After the sensational arrest of Feng, a top executive of an equally fictional company, Chinese tech megacorp Huaxing, angers the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Since Huaxing is in bed with the CCP (as many Chinese institutions are), they consider the arrest to be a loss of face and an arrogant slight against them.
