I don't understand how that article is linked with the alt right? Or is it just conservatives = alt right?

Steve Bannon is strongly associated with the alt right. See https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounders/steve-bannon-fiv... for a list of reasons why, including his own statements on the matter.

That said the friendship of the two seems to be a case of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". With their common enemy being the Chinese government.

Steve Bannon opposes China because he believes in a cyclical view of history, and the next cycle, the "fourth turning", is likely to feature a war with the Middle East and/or China.

Guo Wengui opposes China because he thinks they will kill him for corruption. To be fair, you don't get as successful as he did in a corrupt environment without being corrupt yourself, so China probably has reason to kill him. But it is also a bit of a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
