The Cuban and US governments have both denied a media report saying Havana and Beijing agreed to establish a Chinese electronic eavesdropping facility in Cuba, some 160 kilometers south of Florida.
A spy base with such proximity to several US military bases in the southeastern region of the country would have allowed Beijing to collect electronic communications and monitor ship traffic.
The report about this secretive spying base was published in the Wall Street Journal.
The report mentioned that the agreement was also reached in-principle in exchange for "several billion dollars" for the cash-strapped Latin American country.
Quoting unnamed US officials familiar with “highly classified intelligence”, the article said the proposed base would allow China to conduct “signals intelligence”, a kind of espionage that would allow it to intercept emails, phone calls and other data from the US.
The Journal reported the facility would allow Beijing to gather electronic communications from the southeastern US, which houses many US military bases, as well as monitor ship traffic.
The US Central Command headquarters is based in Tampa.
Fort Liberty, formerly Fort Bragg, the largest US military base, is in North Carolina.
The arrival of the vessels comes just weeks after another squadron of Russian warships, including a powerful nuclear-powered submarine, visited Cuba as part of military exercises in mid-June.

Bruhat Soma , Wins National Spelling Bee.
12-year-old Bruhat from Tampa, Florida, won the Scripps National Spelling Bee on May 30.
12-year-old Bruhat from Tampa, Florida, won the Scripps National Spelling Bee on May 30.
During a lightning-round tiebreaker with Faizan Zaki, Bruhat correctly spelled
29 words in 90 seconds, AP reports. .
Bruhat received a trophy and
over $50,000 in cash and prizes.
I was pretty confident that I had
a chance at winning because I’ve
been working so hard. And I really
wanted to win. That’s why I
practiced the spell-off so much, Bruhat Soma, via statement.
The word that Bruhat won the
competition with was "abseil.".
It means "descent in mountaineering by means
of a rope looped over a projection above.".
The finals only had eight spellers competing, the fewest since 2010, AP reports. .
Some critics were upset that the two spellers were subjected to a "spell-off" instead of being given the chance to compete in a conventional round.
I do wish that we would
have gotten to see more
of a duel between them, Charlotte Walsh, 2023 Spelling Bee runner-up.
I definitely think they should have been
given an opportunity to have some
conventional spelling rounds before
they defaulted to the spell-off, Scott Remer, one of four coaches who worked with Faizan, via statement
