Pentagon denies report that China setting up spy station in Cuba -
Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters the media accounts of a Chinese eavesdropping facility just 100 miles from the Florida coast are “not accurate,” though he stressed that the U.S. is closely monitoring the China-Cuba relationship.
“I’ve seen that reporting. I can tell you based on the information we have that that is not accurate,” Gen. Ryder said. “We are not aware of China and Cuba developing any type of spy station. Separately, I would say that [the] relationship that those two countries share is something we continuously monitor.”
The report in question maintained that a facility in Cuba would allow China to electronically eavesdrop on U.S. communications in the southeastern part of the United States, which is home to many key American military facilities.
