At the same time, amid the many calls within Taiwan for citizens to show solidarity and to protest against the PRC's unreasonable attempts to suppress Taiwan, the local media have called on candidates and political parties in the upcoming elections not to overreact, and warned that the continued rise of populism would in fact constrict Taiwan's diplomatic elbow room.
同時，在國內紛紛發出「台灣人要團結」、「抗議中共鴨霸打壓」聲中，媒體也不斷呼籲，選舉將近，候選人與各政黨不應以激情回應，尤其民粹主義持續加溫，反而影響台灣在國際外交上的空間。
