China and Cuba's Secret Spy Base Plan to Target the US
TL;DR Summary
China has reportedly reached a secret agreement with Cuba to establish an electronic eavesdropping facility on the island, which would allow Beijing to gather electronic communications from the southeastern United States and monitor ship traffic. The US has expressed "real concerns" about China's relationship with Cuba and is closely monitoring it. The reported deal could raise questions about a trip to China that US officials say the secretary of state, Antony Blinken, is planning in coming weeks. If true, the deal would be a "direct assault upon the United States," according to Senator Bob Menendez.
