US EditionTaiwan Sees US Venezuela Raid as Deterrent to China
The US raid that captured Venezuelan leader Maduro risks China-Venezuela relations and offers Beijing leverage to justify its Taiwan claims without changing military policy, analysts say.
- On Jan 4, the U.S. launched a law enforcement operation and captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, flying him to New York to face federal charges, according to reports.
- Taiwanese officials say the raid showed U.S. military reach and capacity to negate adversary capabilities, while Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it was closely monitoring developments amid potential ties with the U.S. administration.
- Operation Absolute Resolve, U.S. officials framed the strikes as law enforcement and moved soon after Maduro met a high-level Chinese delegation, with the White House posting video of the aftermath.
- United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed concern, and worldwide protests trended heavily on Chinese social media after the Venezuela raid on January 3.
- Experts say the action is unlikely to prompt an immediate invasion of Taiwan, as Xi Jinping, Chinese President, prioritizes domestic stability and military readiness over Latin American precedents, while analysts warn the raid gives Beijing "cheap ammunition" for territorial claims.
