A report published by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) on Monday indicated that, based on satellite imagery obtained by the organization, Cuba has significantly expanded some of its electronic eavesdropping stations with suspected ties to China.
The report from the Washington-based think tank said that the satellite imagery reviewed offers an “unprecedented look” at four active bases that the communist regime operates in Bejucal, El Salao, Wajay, and Calabazar. CSIS describes the four listed facilities as among the “most likely locations supporting China’s efforts to spy on the United States.”
CSIS explained that one of the four facilities identified – the base located in El Salao, east of the city of Santiago de Cuba – has been under construction since 2021 but had not been publicly confirmed to exist before. The satellite imagery reviewed for the report showed the base as featuring a large circularly disposed antenna array (CDAA) with a projected diameter of 130 to 200 meters (roughly 426 to 656 feet).
“Once operational, this CDAA will serve as a powerful tool for enhancing air and maritime domain awareness in the region, where the U.S. military and its international partners operate regularly,” the report predicted. “Some CDAAs of this approximate size are reportedly able to track signals anywhere from 3,000 to 8,000 nautical miles away.”

Think Iraq nuclear reactor 1980. Israel did the unpopular thing. Notice how it’s not been rebuilt?
Like with fertilizer?
We already have Chinese spy bases in the USA, a lot of them are very close to military bases as well.
Sounds like China is playing ball with the Neocons.
Bejucal has a biopreparedness lab. Maybe this is the Chinese installation.
Do the Russians know the Chinese are there and vice versa?
Spy facilities in Cuba? The least of our worries.
Built with awesome cuban and chinese building practices as well...
Ready to communicate the “go” signal to the Chinese illegals who crossed the border. And to the 384,000 acres of land bought by China including adjacent to US military bases and now with Chinese on them.
Yeah there’s likely more to it than spying.
Maybe like Alexander Haig in the White House in 1981——
After the Reagan assassination attempt, Haig said “I am in control here, in the White House”, despite not being next in the line of succession.
Chinese own strategic land near military bases? How long has that been allowed to go on?
Cf post #10. Where’ve you been?
“has been under construction since 2021’
Hmm, what could have happened in 2021 to make them think this was the perfect time to start building...
