More Chinese Spying

In recent days, there were disturbing reports that communist China was setting up a massive spying operation in Cuba. The Pentagon denied the reports, calling them “inaccurate.” But now, they are singing a somewhat different tune.

Over the weekend, administration officials admitted the initial report wasn’t accurate because the communist Chinese have had spying facilities in Cuba for several years. That explanation isn’t any better!

Clearly, last week’s remarks about “inaccurate” reporting were nothing more than an effort to deceive the American people. The statement was intended to lead us to believe that there was no communist Chinese threat coming out of communist Cuba, when in fact the threat has existed for several years. 

Why would the Biden Administration try to deceive the public by being so dishonest? The answer is clear. They are worried communist China won’t talk to us after they just rescheduled high-level meetings that were canceled in the wake of Beijing’s spy balloon fiasco and they don’t want anything to upset those meetings. 

Speaking on Fox News this weekend, Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) put it bluntly. He said our leaders must be clear with the American people in explaining the danger from communist China. Waltz said:

“We are in a new Cold War with China. . . They're using every element of national power, diplomatic, informational, military, economic, and espionage to replace us as a global leader. . . When you see ‘Made in China,’ put it down. . .

“We have some of our most sensitive military bases actually, in Florida. Our Special Operations command, our Central Command responsible for the Middle East, our Southern Command, responsible for all of Central America, and a long-range missile test range that is in the Gulf of Mexico, where we test some of our most sensitive missiles. All of that can be collected by this base in Cuba. . . 

“They own the ports on both sides of the Panama Canal. The Chinese have a major space monitoring facility in Argentina. . . They have 16 major port projects across South and Central America. They’re even investing billions into Jamaica. . . They are rolling in like a freight train and this administration is asleep at the switch.”

Once again, the weakness of the Biden/Harris Administration is on full display.
