The United States continues to monitor China's growing military presence in Cuba, with experts expressing concern over the potential threat to national security. The construction of new military bases in Cuba could give China a strategic advantage in the region and allow it to gather valuable intelligence on U.S. operations.
China's plan to establish a military base in Cuba has raised alarm bells among U.S. officials and security experts. The potential threat posed by this move is a matter of growing concern as China's military capabilities expand.
Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.), whose district is less than 100 miles from Cuba, has sounded the alarm about the growing threat from China's expanding military presence in the region. Gimenez emphasizes that the construction and operation of the bases in Cuba are likely heavily influenced by China.

A recent investigation by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) revealed several images of advanced spy bases in Cuba, further amplifying concerns about China's involvement. The images show four sites believed to be supporting Chinese efforts to spy on the U.S. using signals intelligence (SIGINT).
Gimenez is particularly concerned about the proximity of these bases to sensitive U.S. military installations in Florida and the southeast. He believes that China could use these bases to observe U.S. military training and simulation exercises, gaining valuable insights into how the U.S. would respond to an invasion of Taiwan.

CSIS researchers have also warned of the potential threat posed by these bases, emphasizing their proximity to numerous sensitive U.S. installations. They note that China's expansion into countries like Cuba is part of a broader strategy to interfere in America's sphere of influence.
Former Deputy National Security Adviser Victoria Coates believes that China's actions in Cuba are unprecedented and that the Biden administration has failed to respond adequately. She argues that it will fall to the next president to stand up for the security of the American people in their own hemisphere.

The State Department has declined to comment directly on the CSIS report but has acknowledged that China has been expanding its presence in Cuba for decades. The department maintains that the United States will continue to disrupt Chinese efforts to enhance its presence in Cuba.
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), a member of the Homeland Security Committee, has expressed concerns over the White House's handling of the China threat. He believes that China will continue to expand its espionage of the United States without fear of consequences as long as President Joe Biden remains in office.

The potential threat posed by China's military presence in Cuba is a serious concern for U.S. security. The Biden administration must carefully consider the implications of this development and take appropriate measures to protect national security interests.
