China Can't Replicate US's Ultra-Precise Venezuela Strikes Against Taiwan

• The US's swift operation in Venezuela, removing Nicolas Maduro in under three hours, sparked debate in China about its own military capabilities.
• Chinese nationalists questioned why Beijing couldn't execute a similar 'decapitation strike' against Taiwan, despite its proximity.
• Analysts argue China's military modernization is significant, but it lacks the organizational integration and seamless coordination seen in US operations.
• A 2025 Pentagon report highlights the PLA's lack of a national-level special operations command, hindering complex, precise missions.
• China's fragmented special forces structure, designed to prevent concentrated military power, limits its ability to conduct agile, integrated operations.

Why It Matters: China's military, despite modern hardware, lacks the organizational integration and experience for US-style precision strikes.
