Is there any benefit of selling surplus DF-21Ds to Venezuela or other allies to push back on Typhoon deployments in the Philippines?

Lmao no. Without ISR or sundry support networks, those launchers are useless paperweights. They are significant for Manila in a political—not military—sense because they signal alignment with the US. Otherwise it's trivial to destroy them. The Philippines itself has no military muscle to speak of; it's all American. Likewise, any sale of a few Chinese missiles would only be significant if it was bundled alongside basing and so forth.

Also it's Typhon, not Typhoon.
