Venezuela attack seen as reminder for China to boost air defence, counter-intelligence

Analysts in China described Venezuela’s air defences – which rely largely on Russian technology – as “full of flaws and slow to react” amid the modern surveillance, cyber, and electronic warfare displayed by US forces in Saturday’s operation in Caracas.

The operation could serve as a further case study for China, which has been a long-time observer of US military operations, particularly since the 1991 Gulf war.

However, some Chinese analysts argued that the US targeted a much weaker adversary, making the operation less of a direct warning for major powers.

China demands US release Maduro

In a mission lasting less than three hours, US military units including the elite Delta Force abducted Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores from their breached Caracas compound, airlifting them to a US warship before flying the couple to New York.
