Amid recent controversy, a Biden administration official has confirmed that China has had a spy base in Cuba since 2019. Despite the administration’s recent denial regarding China’s alleged development of an eavesdropping facility on the island, US intelligence agencies have been aware of Chinese spying efforts in the region for some time. The US has since taken steps to deter China’s expansion of its operations both diplomatically and through other actions. According to the unidentified official, Chinese officials are exploring expansion opportunities across the Atlantic Ocean, Latin America, the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, and the Indo-Pacific. The development follows The Wall Street Journal’s report that China was planning to establish an electronic eavesdropping facility in Cuba, which sparked criticism from GOP lawmakers. Meanwhile, both the Pentagon and Cuba have denied the report. While recent events have sparked discussion, it remains to be seen what actions may be taken in response to the alleged spy base.
