China has allegedly installed four spy bases in Cuba, 90 miles from the Florida coast. In Mexico, China operates telecommunications systems banned in the U.S. for being linked to the ruling Communist Party, which have the capacity to spy on and disrupt other countries’ communications.

During a recent hearing of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee, it was reported that China is increasing its cooperation with Cuba to allegedly spy on America. Beijing is strengthening its espionage capabilities by building surveillance infrastructure in Cuba. In this strategy, Florida is a key target due to its military resources and ecosystems, and China wants to listen in and leverage its intelligence information.

China not only uses Cuba as an important hub for espionage but also takes advantage of seemingly harmless services and technology to advance its geopolitical interests in countries like Mexico. Chinese firms like Huawei operate freely on the other side of the southern border.
