Five Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have introduced legislation to counter the threats posed by China’s presence in Cuba.

“The Chinese Communist Party’s deepening military and intelligence partnership with Cuba directly threatens U.S. national security,” Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho), the committee’s ranking member, said in a Nov. 7 statement announcing the bill’s introduction.
