## Resource

On January 3, 2026, the United States launched a military operation in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of President Nicholas Maduro and an escalation in U.S.-Venezuela tensions. This intervention has sparked intense global debate – raising questions about international law , sovereignty, and the use of force. It also highlighted the broader implications of intensifying U.S.–China competition across Latin America . In an event held on January 9, 2026 , Margaret Myers and Tong Zhao , in conversation with Jesse Marks , discuss how this unexpected U.S. military action is reshaping strategic calculations in Beijing and Washington, what it may signal for Taiwan , and what these developments mean for the future of U.S.-China relations.
