Chinese Spy Plans- Put a Spy Base on Cuba, Infiltrate Guam with Cyber Threats

The Wall Street Journal reported that the Chinese government reached a deal with Cuba to build a spy base less than 100 miles off the coast of the US. (They have been operating there for a long time, according to the WH.) The DOD has claimed the story is “inaccurate,” although Biden administration officials confirmed it. But the Chinese spy plans don’t just stop at “spy balloons” or engaging with American ships in the South China Sea, they now include infiltrating Guam military facilities with malware cyber threats.

Chinese spy plans: eavesdropping on the United States from Cuba

In an action reminiscent of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Beijing has reportedly given Havana billions of dollars to build a spy base on the island.

China has agreed to pay cash-strapped Cuba several billion dollars to allow it to build the eavesdropping station, and that the two countries had reached an agreement in principle. The report says U.S. officials described the intelligence on the plans as “convincing.”

Later, Politico also reported the situation.
“The officials, granted anonymity to discuss an extremely sensitive intelligence matter, said China was in direct conversations with Cuba to set up a base on the island nation just 100 miles from the United States. It would allow Beijing to collect signals intelligence on southeastern portions of America, home to many military facilities and major industries. Evidence of the negotiations came to light in recent weeks, the officials said.”  Politico
As if the spy balloon wasn’t enough, Chinese spy plans include a bold plan to obtain “sigint” or signals intelligence. From Cuba, being able to intercept signals from several military bases would be a boon to Communist China.  The Biden administration has sent mixed signals of its own as they have alternately said the report was “inaccurate” and acknowledged it.
Cyber Threats
On top of that, information was revealed that Chinese spy plans included development of a malicious script that targeted communications in Guam. Microsoft found the cyber threat.

“As mentioned, cybersecurity experts have detected the malicious script weaving through critical telecommunication systems in Guam, a strategically important location where most significant US harbors and air bases, including the largest Pacific ports. These installations would play a substantial role in any potential American military response to China’s invasion or blockade of Taiwan, thus making it an ideal target.

Although the recent intrusion primarily focuses on espionage, investigators have identified the code’s potential to bypass firewalls, raising the probability of destructive cyberattacks…

Aside from cyber espionage, China has also used conventional and nonconventional methods to execute its spy agenda in the US, which usually does not escalate to offensive cyberattacks. But with the tension stirring related to Taiwan, the threat is becoming more plausible.”  SOFREP

Their desire is world domination in every area. They have made alliances across the Pacific and are working hard to cause dissension with US diplomatic efforts. China has already made numerous inroads in our hemisphere. They’ve already placed stations for their space program in South America, as well as alliances in the Bahamas, and control rare earth minerals in several areas of both Central and South America. It’s past time for Congress to provide strong oversight as the Biden administration leaves us vulnerable.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to visit Beijing next week. Can he be tough enough to tell Xi to back off? Don’t hold your breath.
