Venezuela buys military goods from China, blasts US
Venezuela announced Thursday the purchase of three Chinese military radar systems under President Hugo Chavez' military modernization plans, which have prompted US criticism.
Venezuela purchased the three-dimensional, long-range JYL-1 radar systems for command of military air operations from China's state-owned Electronics Import and Export Corporation, Venezuela's state news agency ABN said.

The deal was signed by Venezuelan Defense Minister Orlando Maniglia and Qu Huimin, the vice president of the Chinese company, who said that in 18 months new purchases may be made.
