The US military action against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has sparked global debate on sovereignty and international norms, with analysts in Asia examining its implications for Taiwan and Ukraine. Some suggest it could embolden powers like China or Russia in territorial disputes. Conversely, others view Maduro's arrest as a warning to Beijing, highlighting challenges for overseas operations. While Chinese state media denies plans for similar actions against Taiwan's President, Beijing has previously threatened force and reportedly built replicas of Taiwanese government buildings for strike rehearsals.
