Edit --
Come on guys! You must consider the source. Fox News??? You'll need secondary and tertiary verification along with a de-spin doctor just to tell truth from BS.
Coming from Fox, I'd bet there's about as much truth in this as Chinese drilling 60 miles off the Florida Coast.
Rob out...
Well China is only *planning* to drill there, having bought the rights to it.
So that would make it a what ... 90% true ? 95% ?
It certainly is not a false statement that China is drilling 60 miles of the florida cost, they certainly are at 100 miles, and have "reserved the right" to drill at 60 miles.

You'll have read through the "weeeeiiii this can't be true" socialist drivel though.
Article doesn't quite say what you suggest. The UM "expert" they quote says "Cuba has awarded offshore oil leases, or concessionary blocs, in its offshore waters to six oil companies — none of them Chinese..."
And then the CSIS "expert" says "Sinopac, has conducted exploratory drilling on a lease on land in western Cuba, but is not involved in the offshore development."
Seems pretty clear to me. But you can continue with your "neo-con" drivel if you like.
