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.
“Over the past two days, we have seen the US government and media releasing a great deal of inconsistent information on the so-called allegation … This is a display of the ‘self-contradictory USA’,” Wang said.
Wang also said he had no information on Blinken’s visit, which would be the first to China by a US secretary of state in five years.
Wang said the US “has no chance of driving a wedge between China and Cuba”.
“We are sincere friends,” he said.
