Analysts suggest that the U.S. strike on Venezuela and capture of Nicolas Maduro provides China with "cheap ammunition" to criticize U.S. foreign policy and bolster its own territorial claims, particularly regarding Taiwan and the South China Sea. While this move may embolden China's stance on international law and territorial disputes, experts believe it is unlikely to hasten a potential invasion of Taiwan, as China's considerations for Taiwan are primarily influenced by domestic factors. Chinese social media users have drawn comparisons, with some suggesting the U.S. action as a template for Taiwan.
