CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuela's defense minister has signed a deal to buy Chinese radar systems, the latest in a series of military purchases by the government of President Hugo Chavez.

The Chinese-made long range surveillance radars will be used by Venezuela's air force, defense officials said Friday.

Defense Minister Adm. Ramon Orlando Maniglia and Qu Huimin, the vice president of China's Electronics Import and Export Corp., signed the accord Thursday, the state-run Bolivarian News Agency reported.

The deal also includes the purchase of "other air security equipment" such as radios, and the possibility of renting a satellite communications system, the Defense Ministry said in a statement. The cost of the deal was not disclosed.

5. Heh...

I guarantee you that the corrupt CCP bureaucrats, and the Beijing-loving rightists in Hong Kong have far more sympathy for Bush than for Chavez...

It's just a farce to build patriotism and nationalism among the Chinese people while their government allows American and European interests to fuck them right up the ass in exchange for kick-backs.

Just like when one hears a Republican or a Liebermanite sabre-rattling about China, while all the while playing ping-pong and sucky-sucky with Taiwan's far-right pro-Beijing People First Party...

The only American political types with anything worthwhile to say about China are Dennis Kucinich, Bernie Sanders, Mike Malloy, and Nancy Pelosi.

The only Chinese political type with anything worthwhile to say about the West is Leung Kwok-hung
