I think you miss the point...The Maduro thing was not within "the rules" on military force...

No, I don't. There was more than ample justification of pulling Maduro out of there. To declare it as a settled question is facts not in evidence. You're entitled to believe there was no justification of this weekend's actions.

We've all benefited from the widespread acceptance of the idea that it's a wrongful violation of international law to use your military to invade your neighbor to achieve goals outside a very limited set of national security matters, mostly relating to responses to a physical attack using force. Taking actions to weaken those norms benefits strong countries at the cost of that global stability. And since China's a strong country, it helps them.

China follow's China's rules and no one else's. To claim that they're more likely or less likely to do something in Taiwan fundamentally misunderstands China's view of the world.
