The United States faces a growing challenge just 90 miles from its shores, as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ramps up its espionage efforts in Cuba. On Tuesday, two House committees sounded the alarm, urging the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to deliver a classified briefing on the threat posed by multiple suspected Chinese spy installations on the island.
The House Homeland Security Committee and the House Select Committee on the CCP penned a letter to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, pressing for a detailed threat assessment. The letter points to at least four signals intelligence (SIGINT) installations that China is either establishing or has already set up in Cuba. These sites, strategically positioned as close as 90 miles from the U.S. coast, could intercept sensitive data from critical American facilities like Kennedy Space Center, Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, and Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, which lies just 70 miles from one of the suspected installations.

Ever since the Cuban revolution that brought communists to power, it has been a threat to the US. Back then, it was a Russian outlet, and now it is the Chinese communists who are the threat. It is now a base for Chinese electronic warfare spies.
