China Bristles at Question on 'Useless' Venezuela Military Gear

• China's Foreign Ministry reacted sharply to a reporter's query about Venezuelan air defense equipment.
• The question highlighted the equipment's "little practical use" during a US operation that captured Nicolas Maduro.
• The US operation involved American forces in Venezuela, leading to Maduro's detention and transfer.
• Beijing condemned the US action as a violation of Venezuelan sovereignty and international norms.
• China's spokesperson avoided addressing equipment performance, issuing a diplomatic statement against the use of force.

Why It Matters: China condemns US intervention in Venezuela, avoids questions on its military equipment's effectiveness.
