From the figures it appears that before the PRC began its missile exercises, some 20 % of Taiwan residents still favored reunification, but with the Beijing's constant military threats and the tension in cross-strait relations, by early this year this figure had fallen to 15 %. With the current new wave of missile firings, support for unification among Taiwan's public has fallen to a new low of 14 %.
由數據上來看，在中共飛彈演習之前，台灣支持統一主張者，都還有二成左右。隨著中共不斷的武力威脅與兩岸關係的緊張，今年年初統派比例滑落至一成五，如今導彈又來，台灣支持統一的民眾比例又下降至一成四，創下新低點。
