Opinion polls in Taiwan reflect public dismay over the Chinese legislation, and this negative sentiment will raise the pressure on President Chen, who recently antagonized some of his more ardent pro-independence supporters by reaching out to the pro-unification opposition People First Party. A survey by Taiwan’s China Times found that 56% of those polled resented the anti-secession law, with 47% saying that Taiwan should retaliate by either holding a public referendum on the issue or introducing counter-legislation of its own.
台湾的民意调查反映出民众对中国立法的不安。这种消极的情绪将增加陈总统身上的压力，况且他最近因为向泛蓝反对派亲民党示好而招致了更加激进的支持者的不满。台湾《中国时报》进行的一场调查发现，接受调查的人中有56%对反分裂法不满，47%称台湾应该进行反击，对此问题举行全民投票，或者制定自己的反立法。
