BEIJING — China said on Monday that allegations that it was using Cuba as a spying base are false and it denounced the US government and media for releasing what it called inconsistent information.
"On the alleged spy activities of China in Cuba, this is a piece of false information," a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, Wang Wenbin, told a regular press conference. The allegation about Cuba comes as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken prepares to visit China this week. The top US diplomat scrapped a planned trip to Beijing in February after a suspected Chinese spy balloon flew over the United States.
