The island facility is part of Beijing’s global effort to improve intelligence gathering.
The US has known that China has a spy base in Cuba since 2019. This was reported on June 11 by the AP agency, citing a White House official.
The US intelligence community has been aware of China’s activities in Cuba and Beijing’s larger efforts to gather intelligence around the world for some time.
“The[President Joe]The Biden administration has stepped up efforts to thwart China’s attempts to expand its espionage operations and believes it has made some progress through diplomacy and other subtle actions,” the source said.
Earlier, The Wall Street Journal reported that China and Cuba agreed to build a tracking station on the island.
The White House called the information unreliable, and US intelligence said China’s spying on Cuba was “not a new development.”
It can be recalled that in February, the US military shot down a Chinese balloon that had been flying over US territory for almost a week. They say the machine is gathering intelligence.
