China's alleged spying on the United States from Cuba has finally been confirmed by a Biden administration official. Although a Wall Street Journal report suggesting that China and Cuba have agreed to install an electronic eavesdropping facility in Cuba was initially dismissed by the administration last week as inaccurate, this revelation has now come to light. According to the administration official, China has had a listening post in Cuba for several years. In fact, the official stated that China even upgraded its spying facility in 2019. The administration describes this as a problem it 'inherited'.

When the Biden administration took office in January 2021, it was informed of several sensitive People's Republic of China efforts worldwide to expand its overseas logistics, basing, and collection infrastructure. This expansion allows the People's Liberation Army to project and sustain military power over greater distances. According to the official, the Chinese government was exploring various sites around the world. Furthermore, the administration has stated that China had upgraded its intelligence collection facilities in Cuba in 2019. This new development, according to the official, is 'well-documented in the intelligence record'.

The administration official stated that the previous administration was aware of these basing efforts, and had attempted to address the issue. However, the current administration found that the progress was insufficient, and thus required a more direct approach. The White House, Pentagon, and other centers of power had all denied the Wall Street Journal's reports regarding Chinese listening posts in Cuba, despite knowing for years that these activities had been taking place. The administration's official insists that the Journal's reporting is inaccurate since it calls this spying a new development.
