China has teamed up with a communist ally to spy on the US just 90 miles south of Florida, White House officials confirmed.
The country has been operating a spy base in Cuba since at least 2019 as part of an effort to ramp up its spying efforts, a Biden administration official said, noting that the issue has been “ongoing” and predates Biden’s presidency.
The anonymous White House official said that the US intelligence community has known of China’s spying from Cuba for some time, deeming it an “ongoing” matter” that is “not a new development.”
The Biden admin has worked to stop China’s efforts to expand its spy operations and believes some progress has been made through diplomacy and other specified action, the official said.
The existence of the Chinese spy base was confirmed by The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, which reported that China and Cuba had reached an agreement in principle to build an electronic eavesdropping station on the island. *** Following the news Thursday, the White House called the report inaccurate.
“I’ve seen that press report, it’s not accurate,” White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said in an MSNBC interview Thursday. “What I can tell you is that we have been concerned since day one of this administration about China’s influence activities around the world; certainly in this hemisphere and in this region, we’re watching this very, very closely.”

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is planning to travel to China next week, after a previous trip was canceled as the balloon flew over the US.

The ChiComs should name the base “Hunter’s Laptop” ... the the media will ignore its existence.
2019 is about the time the Biden Crime Family got a big check from the CCP.
Inaccurate but true. Something like accurate and false. Or safe and effective.
I call baloney.
China doesn’t need a “Spy Base” in Cuba to spy on the USA for the simplistic reason that China has spies where ever it desires in America Already.
I live in Kingsport Tennessee. There was a Chinese spy here, a woman, a PhD Chemical engineer I think but maybe a chemist. Any way her mission here was to get a job with the chemical company research labs. She was after the secret of how to make the chemical lining for tin cans. It is a coating for the inside of ordinary food cans. She accomplished her mission here and moved on to a company in Michigan after something else. She was caught there and jailed for industrial espionage.
So, the thought of a “Spy Base “ in Cuba is a journo joke
Well Biden has established it is Trump’s fault using the 2019 date. Now that blame has been shifted, Joe can now nap and do nothing.
We always assume that we are China’s only target.
Cuba has a lot of Russians. And they can monitor commas from the Atlantic back to Russia. I doubt that China has the human intelligence in Russia like they do in the US.
Lol, sad but probably true.
China has had a spy base in the White House since January 21, 2021.
First thing to do DAY 1 on January 20, 2025—
blast the site from existence and dare the mf’ers of chi-com land to do something. “Whah? we don’ know nuffin’ bout it”.
Monroe Doctrine— is still enforceable to people who aren’t sniffing little girl’s hair an pooping their pants in public. Time for action- the Cuban Emigres will tell you this in heartbeat.
Chi-Coms have no business in OUR Caribbean.
“...some progress has been made through diplomacy and other specified action, the official said.”
How much for the “Big Guy”?
You beat me to it by this much.
Look up what happened to the Soviet nuke reactor being built same item as Chernobyl graphite— and large fallout over S. Florida and all the Caribbean possible. Chat with the russkies over what we would do— stopped the construction. And the President was Ronaldus Magnus.
A historical cartoon of Blinken’s “office” career and his real tough backbone. Also is a great cartoon of Andrew McCabe fibbie lying bastard weasel:

Putin still has his spy base in Cuba, and possibly a handful of nuclear weapons.
“After initially crying ‘inaccurate,’ Biden admin confirms China has had a spy base in Cuba since at least 2019”
Perhaps they denied it until they were able to position it as being established during Trump’s presidency or earlier? Who knows with these people.
And Russia also has a naval base in Cuba for their nuke subs.
What was the name of that Chinese spy who worked for and was banging a dem congressmen? Fang-Fang would agree with you. Why go to Cuba when DC is open for business.
Well, the Chicoms aren’t building a spy base in Cuba, and reports to that effect are inaccuate.
It’s already built and in operation.
China? How about Russia, Nork, Iran, Venezuela...? Quite sure it gets pretty crowded in that stakeout room.
