The House Select Committee on China released a report on February 27, 2026, documenting at least 11 sites linked to China's People's Liberation Army across Latin America, including ground stations, telescopes, and space tracking facilities in Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, Chile, and Brazil. The sites operate under civilian cover for military surveillance purposes in the Western Hemisphere. The report was cited in a post by former General Michael Flynn at 2:15 PM UTC, within the reporting window from 12:15 PM to 3:15 PM UTC. The facilities are positioned for optimal orbital coverage, political insulation, and long-term strategic leverage, according to the committee's findings as referenced by Flynn. These sites appear as scientific cooperation but serve strategic encirclement objectives, the report states. No prior reports provide direct context for this release, marking it as a new disclosure during the three-hour period. The committee's documentation highlights the expansion of Chinese military surveillance in the region.
