🇨🇳🕵️‍♂️🤝🇨🇺 — 📰 VoA: US: China Upgraded Cuban Spy Operations in 2019

— "The U.S. said Monday that China upgraded its spying operations in Cuba in 2019 that targeted the United States, even as Beijing rejected claims it was operating an intelligence-gathering operation on the island. That's according to a Biden administration official who was not authorized to comment publicly about the matter and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The U.S. official said China’s intelligence-gathering operation in Cuba was “well-documented” when President Joe Biden took office in 2021. “This is an issue that this administration inherited.”

“It was our assessment that, despite awareness of the basing efforts and some attempts to address this challenge” during the White House tenure of former President Donald Trump, “we were not making enough progress and needed a more direct approach,” the official said."

🇨🇳🕵️‍♂️🤝🇨🇺 — 📰 The Guadian: China has used Cuba as spy base for years, US official says

— "China has been spying from Cuba for some time and upgraded its intelligence collection facilities there in 2019, a Biden administration official said on Saturday, following a report about a new spying effort underway on the island.

China had reached a secret deal with Cuba to establish an electronic eavesdropping facility on the island roughly 100 miles (160km) from Florida, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday but the US and Cuban governments cast strong doubt on the report.

The Biden administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the media’s characterisation “does not comport with our understanding”, but did not specify how the report was wrong or address in detail whether there were efforts by China to build a new eavesdropping facility in Cuba."

🇨🇳❌🇺🇸 — 📰 Global Times: Biden admin's hype over 'Cuba spy base' could become another 'balloon incident' to trouble US plan to reengage with China

— "The US has once again showed its "split personality" on foreign affairs, said Chinese experts on Sunday, as the Biden administration on one hand desperately seeks to resume communication between US senior officials and their Chinese counterparts, but on the other hand keeps hyping up the groundless accusation of "China using secrete base in Cuba to spy on the US."

Some experts warned that the new hypes could become another "spy balloon incident," and such hypes by US media and politicians may once again drag on Washington's plan to reengage with China.

Reuters cited an anonymous official as saying that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to visit China on June 18, for talks delayed since the "balloon incident." However, this plan is yet to be confirmed by China."
