(Washington News) U.S. officials said that China and Cuba have reached a secret agreement that China will establish electronic eavesdropping facilities in Cuba to form a new geopolitical challenge to the United States.
The Wall Street Journal quoted officials who are familiar with highly confidential intelligence in the United States, saying that electronic eavesdropping facilities located in Cuba are about 160 kilometers from Florida, which allows the Chinese intelligence department to eavesdo the electronic communications in the southeast of the United States and monitor American ships.The southeast of the United States is the location of many military bases.
According to reports, officials of informedness said that China and Cuba have reached a principled agreement, and China agreed to pay billions of dollars to Cuba with tight funds.
It is reported that because Cuba is close to the United States, the disclosure of the plan has caused uneasiness within the Bayeng government.
Washington regards Beijing as the most important economic and military competitors.China establishes a base with advanced military and intelligence capabilities in the US backyard, or it constitutes an unprecedented new threat to the United States.The only foreign military base announced in China is a Djibati at the corner of Africa.
A spokesman for the National Security Council, Cerby, said in an interview that he could not comment on this specific report, but at the same time, "we know it very well and mentioned that China has worked hard in all parts of the world, including this hemisphere, including this hemisphere, including this hemisphere.Investment and construction may have an infrastructure that may have military purposes. "
Kobe said that the United States is surveying closely and taking countermeasures to be confident to fulfill all security commitments to the United States, regions and around the world.
According to reports, US officials said that the Cuban base will allow China to perform signal information commonly known as the spy industry, that is, China can monitor a series of communications, including emails, telephone and satellite transmission.
Officials also said that these information should be collected in recent weeks, and the credibility is quite high, but they refuse to disclose the proposed location of the monitoring station and do not want to disclose whether it has been constructed.It is reported that it is not possible to determine what actions of the Biden government can take to prevent the completion of electronic eavesdropping facilities.
Reports also said that the United States had intervened to prevent external forces from expanding the influence in the Western Hemisphere in the past. The most prominent example was during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962.At that time, the Soviet Union deployed missiles with nuclear capabilities in Cuba, while the U.S. Navy blocked Cuba, and the United States and the Soviet Union once reached the edge of the nuclear war.
Sen Gelton, a senior researcher at the "Defending Democratic Foundation" Washington Security Tank, said that China establishes facilities in Cuba and "marks China's widespread national defense strategy to enter a new stage of upgrading. This has changed the rules of the game"Essence
