Satellite imagery analysis reveals the expansion of suspected Chinese electronic eavesdropping stations in Cuba.
— The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) identified four such stations, including a previously unreported site near the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay.
— The stations are believed to be used by China to intercept sensitive electronic communications from U.S. military bases, space-launch facilities, and military and commercial shipping.
— Four sites were identified: Bejucal, El Salao, Wajay, and Calabazar.
— The Bejucal and Calabazar sites near Havana contain large dish antennas, potentially for monitoring and communicating with satellites.
— The newest site at El Salao, still under construction, is about 70 miles from Guantanamo Bay and appears designed to hold a circularly disposed antenna array for intercepting electronic signals.
