Don’t look, don’t know, I’m scared at first glance. Anyway, I was really shocked to see such a big news about China in the American media.
Speaking with a nose and eyes, you can’t help but believe it, and speaking with a cold sweat about Sino US relations.
The report was published by the Wall Street Journal, which is also considered the largest financial newspaper in the United States.
The report on June 8th is roughly like this.
1. US officials familiar with highly confidential intelligence have revealed that China and Cuba have reached a secret agreement to pay billions of dollars to Cuba and establish a monitoring station in Cuba.
2. This monitoring station is only 100 kilometers away from Southern United States in the south of the United States. According to the American media, “this will enable China to engage in communication intelligence collection, including e-mail, telephone and satellite transmission”, and “this is the latest reckless geopolitical challenge Beijing has faced against the United States”.
3. This surprised American officials but refused to confirm or deny. White House National Security Council spokesperson Kirby said that the United States is closely monitoring this matter and will take action to counter it. But American media claim that it is uncertain how the Biden government will prevent the construction of this monitoring station.
4. Of course, the Wall Street Journal also defended China, believing that once the United States publicly accuses China, China may argue that monitoring bases in Cuba are reasonable because the United States also engages in military and intelligence activities near China.
You see, in a piece of news, there are several W’s, including so-called US officials familiar with highly confidential intelligence (without names), senior US officials naming names, and their own rational logical inference.
We all do this to China, so it’s completely normal for China to do this.
Interestingly, the newspaper also quoted an expert named Singleton as saying, “The establishment of this facility marks a new upgrade phase in China’s broader defense strategy, which is somewhat a change in outcome. Choosing Cuba is also a deliberate provocation
A basin of dirty water poured onto China.
Have a nose and eyes, it’s not surprising that many Americans don’t believe it.
I saw that as soon as this report was published, many foreign media outlets forwarded it one after another, with the theme of China establishing a monitoring base against the United States in Cuba.
The first reaction of many Americans is indeed very angry, China, what do you want to do?
But is this true?
This time, the Pentagon couldn’t bear to look down and personally came out to face it.
On June 8th, at a Pentagon press conference, Brigadier General Ryder, a spokesperson for the US Department of Defense, provided a clear answer to this question: ‘This report, I can tell you, based on the information we have, is inaccurate.’.
After a pause, he continued, ‘We were not aware that China and Cuba were establishing any spy stations. Additionally, what I want to say is that the relationship between these two countries is something we continue to pay attention to.’. What I want to say is, as you have heard us say many times, China’s activities in our hemisphere and around the world, any activities or things that are of concern, we will continue to pay attention to. But in terms of this specific report, no, it is inaccurate.
Some journalists are not giving up yet and continue to ask: Have you seen China establish any military bases in Cuba, or do you have any plans to do so, as we have seen elsewhere in the region.
US Department of Defense spokesperson: Currently, we are not aware of any bases.
What does it mean?
The meaning is also very clear.
1. The Wall Street Journal, you are really spreading rumors this time.
2. We control everything, and if China did this in Cuba, we would definitely know.
As for China’s establishment of military bases in Cuba, there is indeed no such thing.
Although there have been various accusations against China, I think the statement made by the spokesperson of the US Department of Defense this time is still commendable.
After all, what is real is real, what is fake is fake. Military and state affairs, pretending to be fake is too outrageous and lacks a bottom line.
That’s the question.
Truth is the life of news, also known as the Wall Street Journal of the major American newspaper. Why do you make such rumors?
Three possibilities cannot be ruled out.
The first is to undermine Sino US relations.
Recently, Chinese and American officials have contacted again, and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also said that he would visit China as soon as possible. At this point in time before the visit, such a large “disclosure” was suddenly released. Is it really just a coincidence? It is not ruled out that some Americans just want to undermine Sino US relations.
Black, it’s really black.
Second, it intends to repeat the Cuban Missile Crisis.
As we all know, the Cuban Missile Crisis in the last century almost triggered a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union. Now, spreading rumors is spreading to Cuba, and it also involves China and the sensitive psychology of Americans. You should be aware of the malicious intentions of some people.
Hard, really tough.
Thirdly, think of China as bad as the United States.
To be honest, this is a bit embarrassing for me. The logic of Americans is that we did this to China. Why didn’t China do this in Cuba? But if China does this, we Americans will definitely not do it.
Overlord, really overbearing.
Unfortunately, all the accusations are based on unfounded facts, to the point where the Pentagon cannot bear to look down on them and cleanly refute them.
The so-called Cuban surveillance base is completely nonsense.
The Wall Street Journal, face slapped.
A respected financial newspaper that used to spread rumors about China like this is truly surprising.
Where is professionalism? Where is authenticity? What kind of ulterior motives are there?
This world is not the most shameless, only the more shameless.
