On Sunday’s edition of “Meet the Press,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken was directly asked “Are we going to prevent China from having a military base on the island of Cuba?”

 

Blinken’s word-salad response amounted to an assurance that: “We've made clear that this is a real concern.” 

In short, the Biden administration intends to take no action to prevent the Chinese Communist Party from establishing – not just an expanded intelligence and advanced cyberwarfare facility in Cuba – but a so-called “military training base” inherently capable of kinetic power-projection, as well. 

 

Our Committee on the Present Danger: China believes that is a totally unacceptable response and will be unveiling in a webinar today at 1 p.m. Eastern Time twenty specific actions the United States must take immediately to counter this new Chinese dagger pointed at the heart of America.
