CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Condemning the Cuban regime and the Chinese Communist 
Party for their reported intent to build a joint military 
training base on the island of Cuba, 100 miles from 
the United States. 
Whereas it is the concurrent sense of Congress that any plan 
by the Cuban regime and the Chinese Communist Party 
to create a new joint military training base on the island 
of Cuba poses a threat to the national security interests 
of the United States; 
Whereas this joint military training base would expand the 
Chinese Communist Party’s presence in Cuba;

Whereas the Chinese Communist Party has supported the 
Cuban regime in the establishment and administration of 
the strategically located, special economic zone, deep- 
water port at Mariel helping to prop up Cuba’s failed so-
cialist economy; 
Whereas the Cuban regime is a United States designated 
State Sponsor of Terrorism; 
Whereas, in 2015, Colombian authorities uncovered defense 
articles and ammunition, including gunpowder and can-
non shells, destined for Cuba on a Chinese-flagged vessel; 
Whereas Cuba and the Chinese Communist Party has oper-
ated intelligence facilities in Cuba since at least 2019; 
Whereas Cuba and the Chinese Communist Party are able to 
use the intelligence facilities to tap into electronic signals 
from United States communications systems, radars, and 
weapons systems to covertly gather intelligence; 
Whereas the Chinese Communist Party has recently under-
taken unsafe, unprofessional, and aggressive military ac-
tions towards the United States, and its allies and part-
ners, in the South China Sea; and 
Whereas Cuba has a history of targeting the United States 
and serving the interests of communist powers like the 
former Soviet Union and China: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) condemns the Cuban regime and the Chi-
nese Communist Party for their active discussions to 
create a joint military training facility that threatens 
the national security of the United States; and
