If indeed these radars were defeated by EW, then the lesson for China is that they can also overpower enemy radar with their EW systems. They just need more of them. The need to invest a lot more in acquiring more powerful and more advanced EW aircraft and ground based EW. They need to overpower the enemy by several times. Its not like China lacks the tech to produce advanced EW.

China already learned this lesson when a Growler/Prowler allegedly single handedly neutralized a large swath of coastal AD in the 2000's. China developed the J-16D/J-15D as a response and is basically the only peer aircraft of this type in the world. Even Russia doesn't have such a Flanker variant.
EW included jamming and spoofing are very powerful tool. It probably clogged the radar with many false signals.
In a warfare, you cannot just depend on the defense system. Defense system should be the last line of defense. I think the best defense is a good offense.

There are still a massive gap in number, on a side note China for some reason are still not equipping their helicopters with EW and DIRCM gear even ones that are expected to fight on the frontline while the US is now apparently extending these packages to normal army helicopters not only Marines.
China's biggest problem is still much lower budget. 1.5% of GDP for defense means lower priority items are not getting the upgrades. Ground force in general is suffering from outdated systems. China is also procuring hardware in a much slower rate overall. So, the their tip is cutting edge but those cutting edge systems are in service in only a handful of units. The bulk of the military is still using outdated gear whether its air, naval or ground force.
I read his tweets and it is 100 percent anti-Chinese propaganda. In fact all of them are grievances about SCS. Extremely biased posting. You are better off quoting FLG sources or Collin Koh.
Also, do these cucks know that Venezuela operates more American radars than Chinese or even Russian ones?

I don't think they either know or care. Their duty is not to facts. Only to propaganda. Any facts that get in the way are only to be discarded, ignored, or dismissed.
To be fair, at least 25% of the X links posted here are just Indian, Western, or Western-paid Asian propagandists. So this is nothing.
