綠營發動對國民黨立委發動大罷免，前總統陳水扁示警，冤冤相罷何時了。過去他面臨朝小野大的困境，政局也沒有像現在這樣對立，天下之大，不能獨佔，政治是高度妥協的藝術。前副總統呂秀蓮也提醒，全面性罷免非國家之福，籲賴總統高度拉高到全民總統，不要介入此事。

The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) initiated a major recall against Kuomintang (KMT) legislators. Former President Chen Shui-bian warned that mutual recalls would never end. In the past, he faced the dilemma of a small ruling party amid a large opposition, but the political situation was not as confrontational as it is now. According to Chen, the world is vast and cannot be monopolized; politics is the art of high compromise. Former Vice President Annette Lu also reminded that all-out recalls are not beneficial to the country and urged President Lai Ching-te to elevate himself to act as the president for all people and not intervene in this matter.

多家日本媒體報導，日本海上自衛隊護衛艦「Akizuki」二月上旬穿越台海，參加在南海舉行的美國、澳洲和菲律賓四國聯合軍演。這是自衛隊首次獨自通過台海。日媒分析，此舉似在牽制在日本及台灣周邊加強軍事壓力的中國大陸。 去年9月日本護衛艦「Sazanami」曾與澳洲及紐西蘭軍艦一起穿越台海，引發中方抗議。

Multiple Japanese media outlets reported that the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer Akizuki crossed the Taiwan Strait in early February to participate in a joint military exercise with the United States, Australia, and the Philippines in the South China Sea. This is the first time that the Self-Defense Force has independently passed through the Taiwan Strait. Japanese media analyzed that this move seems to be aimed at countering the increased military pressure from mainland China around Japan and Taiwan. In September last year, the Japanese destroyer Sazanami crossed the Taiwan Strait with Australian and New Zealand naval vessels, sparking protests from China.

In the presence of U.S. President Donald Trump, TSMC Chairman C. C. Wei announced at the White House that in addition to the previously announced $65 billion investment, TSMC will increase its investment in the United States by $100 billion over the next four years to build three wafer fabs, two advanced packaging plants, and a research and development center. This expanded investment project is the largest single foreign direct investment in American history. Mr. Trump even stated that if something happens in Taiwan, the United States will have significant influence. Wei returned to Taiwan the next day and held a press conference with President Lai, refuting American pressure. Wei stated that investing in the United States is in response to customer demand and emphasized that the construction of 11 production lines in Taiwan is still proceeding as planned. As for whether the expanded investment has received American subsidy commitments, Wei said that TSMC is not afraid of competition and only seeks fairness.

銓敘部日前配合陸委會發函全國各政府機關，要公務員具結未領有中國大陸身分證、定居證、居住證。學者認為，陸委會此舉有憲法爭議，因依憲法，我方應不承認中華人民共和國國籍，如此便無理由干涉人民、公職人員，陸委會亦可能有行政裁量的「僭越」。

The Ministry of Civil Service recently cooperated with the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) to issue a letter to all government agencies, requiring civil servants to declare that they should not hold mainland Chinese identity cards, residence permits, or residence certificates. Scholars believe that this move by the MAC is controversial constitutionally because according to the Constitution, Taiwan should not recognize People's Republic of China nationality, and therefore has no reason to interfere with the people and public officials. The MAC may also have overreached in terms of its administrative discretion, scholars say.
