Chinese authorities paid Liberty Island several billion dollars for the construction of this base, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Cuba and China reached a secret agreement to build a base on the island to spy on the US. This was reported on Thursday, June 8, by the American edition of The Wall Street Journal, citing sources in American intelligence.
The media reports that a facility will appear in Cuba that allows listening and interception of electronic messages in the southeastern United States, where many military bases are located, as well as monitoring the movement of ships American war. The base is located about 100 km from the state of Florida. US officials believe the facility will allow China to conduct signals intelligence, which involves monitoring a wide range of information channels.
Sources say that the PRC authorities paid several billion dollars to Cuba in exchange for agreeing to build the base.
The newspaper added that intelligence about the new facility caused concern in the administration of US President Joe Biden. However, the United States is closely monitoring the situation and is ready to take measures.
It will be recalled that in early February, the United States announced that a Chinese balloon had settled in the continental part of the country.
This balloon was hit by a missile inside US airspace. With the help of this apparatus, China has collected important information, according to the United States.
However, the Chinese Foreign Ministry protested and said that the meteorological probe ended up in American airspace by accident.
