About time.
More shite from the 1960s that needs to be dealt with.
Trump is dealing with it instead of ignoring it like our previous feckless presidents.
Trump seems like the only problem solver willing to rip off the bandaids.

It's so disappointing as a recent ChemE grad but as a much older student it's beyond scary how little of history or social studies a decent bit of student know. Funny how the side that says how educated they are ends up into the learn history or you're doomed to repeat it. Sounds like they aren't learning which means their education or degrees must be pointless.

AI Overview
While China is not officially constructing a traditional military combat base in Cuba, growing evidence indicates that Beijing is actively upgrading and expanding electronic espionage and signals intelligence facilities on the island.
Key details of China's expanding footprint in Cuba include:
Intelligence and Spy Facilities: U.S. intelligence and defense experts have identified multiple locations in Cuba being upgraded or utilized by China to intercept sensitive electronic communications from the southeastern United States
Satellite Imagery: Reports from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) detail the construction and enhancement of advanced antenna arrays and radar dishes across several Cuban sites, including one location just east of Santiago de Cuba and near the Guantanamo Bay naval base.
Military Training Negotiations: In 2023, reports surfaced that China and Cuba were in advanced negotiations to establish a joint military training facility on the island, though it remains unclear to what extent that specific infrastructure has been formalized
Official Denials: Both the Chinese and Cuban governments have consistently denied the existence of any Chinese military bases or intelligence stations on the island, dismissing the reports as U.S. intimidation campaigns

Trump Administration Getting the CCP Out of Cuba

quote:
On May 26, 2026, Cuba received a 60,000-ton rice shipment from the Chinese Communist Party. The following day, Beijing condemned the U.S. blockade and what it called increasing military threats against Cuba.
China is deepening its foothold in Cuba precisely as the Trump administration moves to sever it. The result is an escalating confrontation, playing out through sanctions, indictments, spy satellites, and back-channel ultimatums, over who controls the island 90 miles from Florida.
Satellite imagery has confirmed that China is actively expanding its signals intelligence infrastructure in Cuba. The Center for Strategic and International Studies has identified four facilities as highly likely sites supporting Chinese intelligence operations against the United States: Bejucal, Wajay, and Calabazar near Havana, and El Salao, located roughly 70 miles from the U.S. Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay.
A May 2025 CSIS satellite update documented major construction at Bejucal, where excavation crews removed six existing pole antennas and began building a Circularly Disposed Antenna Array (CDAA) with an outer ring nearly 574 feet in diameter. Imagery confirmed the facility is active, with satellite dishes repositioning across multiple image captures. CDAAs are used for high-frequency direction finding and can pinpoint radio-signal origins from 3,000 to 8,000 miles away — the same technology China has deployed at Mischief Reef and Subi Reef in the South China Sea to monitor U.S. naval activity.
Collectively, the four Cuban facilities provide coverage of approximately 20 U.S. military installations in Florida, including U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) headquarters, the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, and multiple submarine bases.
A May 2025 letter from the House Homeland Security Committee to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem warned that by combining telemetry interception, geospatial intelligence, and electromagnetic surveillance, China is positioning itself to “systematically erode U.S. strategic advantages without ever firing a shot.” The 2025 SOUTHCOM Posture Statement similarly noted that Cuba “serves as a proximate location for intelligence gathering and force projection by our adversaries.”
In May 2026, the Wall Street Journal reported that China and Russia had nearly tripled their combined intelligence personnel in Cuba since 2023 and upgraded equipment at listening facilities within range of both U.S. combatant commands. The 2025 National Defense Authorization Act mandates the Pentagon to deliver a classified report to Congress on Chinese and Russian intelligence capabilities in Cuba by June 2026, a deadline that arrives this month.
