「軍事營區安全維護條例」草案完成朝野協商，近日將完成立法。草案賦予國軍將部隊操演所到之處，皆定義為軍事營區；軍方得對「違規」如擅自攝影者，管制、驅離、法辦與罰鍰等；甚至能事後搜索社群或媒體刊登內容，主觀認為有危安疑慮，都可開罰甚至法辦。此案被質疑擴權。

Cross-partisan negotiations on a draft bill to tighten security at military facilities have been completed, and legislation is expected in the near future. The proposed legislation empowers the Armed Forces to define military camps as wherever troops conduct military exercises; the military can control, expel, prosecute, and fine "violators" such as those who take unauthorized photos; it can even search social media or material published by the media afterward if the content is considered to have security concerns; fines may even be issued and legal action taken. The bill has attracted scrutiny about expansion of the executive powers.

喬治華盛頓大學艾略特國際事務學院教授Robert Sutte在雜誌The Diplomat專文指出，無論2024總總統大選誰當選，美政策都會延續；更要關注的是美國大選，若川普重返白宮，以其高舉「美國優先」原則，加上行事作風難料，將對華府的兩岸政策投下變數，甚至對台灣帶來不利影響。

Robert Sutter, a professor at the Elliott School of International Affairs, George Washington University, opined in the Diplomat that no matter who is elected in Taiwan's 2024 presidential election, U.S. policies will remain consistent. What is more important is the American election. If former President Donald Trump returns to the White House, his "America First" principle and unpredictable behavior will cast a variable on Washington's policy on the Taiwan Strait and may even pose an adverse impact on Taiwan.
