China's Spy Base in Cuba: US Confirms Ongoing Concerns.

China has been operating a spy base in Cuba since at least 2019, as part of a global effort to upgrade its intelligence-gathering capabilities, according to a Biden administration official. The US intelligence community has been aware of China's spying from Cuba and a larger effort to set up intelligence-gathering operations around the globe for some time. The existence of the Chinese spy base was confirmed after The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that China and Cuba had reached an agreement in principle to build an electronic eavesdropping station on the island.
