Morgan Murphy, a former Trump White House official and press secretary for Defense Secretary Mark Esper, characterized China's upgrades as eavesdropping infrastructure aimed at monitoring regional military activities. Murphy stated the dome-covered satellite dish and the base's proximity to Camp Lemonnier demonstrate hostile intent.
“Beijing has clearly wiretapped the Red Sea. When you build a 30-meter (100-foot-wide) satellite dish and cover it with a dome, so nobody can see where it's pointing, it's pretty clear you're up to no good.”
