The Department of Defense has denied a media report that China had agreed to a deal with Cuba to establish a new surveillance facility on the island.
Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said the department is not aware of a deal in which China would provide the island roughly 100 miles from Florida with several billion dollars for the eavesdropping station that would be designed to scoop up electronic communications in the southeastern United States.“I can tell you based on the information that we have that that is not accurate, that we are not aware of China and Cuba developing any type of spy stations,” he explained.
"We are deeply disturbed by reports that Havana and Beijing are working together to target the United States and our people,” Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Marco Rubio and Chairman Mark Warner said in a statement. “The United States must respond to China’s ongoing and brazen attacks on our nation’s security.
Rep. Mike Rogers , the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, argued in a statement, “The Biden administration must take note that China’s military operations are not limited to the Indo-Pacific. China’s military is at our doorstep, in North America and throughout South America, and we cannot afford to ignore or overlook the threat. We must use every tool available to counter and deter China’s aggression.
