Chinese state media has accused the US of "smearing" China over alleged reports of a spy base in Cuba, with claims that the activity endangered a visit by US top diplomat Antony Blinken to Beijing. A Wall Street Journal report claimed that China had invested in Cuba to establish a listening post, which was initially denied by the White House before later being confirmed by an anonymous Biden administration official. Reports of the spy base have been described as a "new farce" staged by some US politicians to gain the "upper hand" in any possible dialogue with China.
