China Operating Spy Base in Cuba To Increase Global Intelligence Capabilities, U.S. Confirms

China has been operating a spy base in Cuba since at least 2019 to upgrade its intelligence gathering around the world, according to U.S. officials.
The U.S. has been aware of China's spying operations in Cuba and elsewhere as China seeks to expand its intelligence capabilities globally.
The Biden administration has increased diplomatic efforts to counter China's spying but China has continued upgrading its Cuba facility.
Tensions remain high between the U.S. and China even as the Biden administration seeks renewed high-level talks.
The U.S. also maintains intelligence posts around the world, though China's facility in Cuba raises concerns due to its proximity.
