White House Denies Report China Seeking Spy Base In Cuba, But Menendez Demands Answers

"China is seeking to establish a spy base in Cuba in order to better eavesdrop on the United
States, in an alleged plot which is reminiscent of Cold War intelligence maneuvering among great powers.

Beijing is reportedly in direct talks with the Cuban government, with The Wall Street Journal being the first to report Thursday that the two had reached a "secret agreement" to establish the base. However, hours later in a press briefing White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby rejected the report as inaccurate." ZH
