After doing some research on this, I came across this little nugget:

On a side note. China has been operating a signal intelligence station in Bejucal, south of Havana since 1999. This facility has numerous satellite communications antennas which could be utilized for the interception of military and civilian communication traffic in the United States. The Chinese also intercept US military satellite communications at a facility located northeast of Santiago de Cuba. China also provided the Cuban government with sophisticated antennas to block Radio Martí signals.

So we will threaten the Russians with Nuclear retaliation, but we allow the Chinese off the hook why?
