Overseas Network January 7th The doctoral thesis of Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen has triggered a series of controversies and continues to burn in Taiwanese society and media. Recently, 175 Ph.D.s publicly signed a petition to challenge Tsai Ing-wen, calling for Tsai Ing-wen to give a true response to the paper’s issues.
According to Taiwan's " China Times Electronic News " report, Tsai Ing-wen's "paper scandal" continues to burn. Recently, a 175-member Chinese doctoral group raised several key issues regarding Tsai Ing-wen's "thesis", calling on the Tsai administration to make a true response to this and give an explanation to the Taiwanese people.
reported that 175 Ph.D.s asked Tsai Ing-wen to explain key issues including:
1. Tsai Ing-wen’s student record card at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in the United Kingdom only paid two years of tuition from 1980 to 1982. After taking a leave of absence, There was no resumption of schooling. How did you manage to graduate "successfully" in 1984?
2. There are alterations on Tsai Ing-wen’s student record card. The English handwriting is different from the original organizer, and no one signed it to show responsibility. Is it possible that such a document has been tampered with?
3. There are three versions of Tsai Ing-wen’s graduation certificate. One of the 2010 reissued versions was certified by the LSE principal in 2010. However, after Dr. Lin Huanqiang asked LSE, LSE said that "the reissued doctoral certificate must be signed by the principal of the original graduation year." What is the explanation for this statement?
Dr. Kuo Shuxiang said that he will publicly explain the disputes in Tsai Ing-wen’s doctoral thesis and degree at 2 pm on January 8 at the National Taiwan University Alumni Hall. He hopes that the Tsai authorities can give everyone a reasonable explanation.
According to Taiwanese media reports, although Tsai Ing-wen’s doctoral thesis was made available to the Taiwanese public at the Taiwan Library on September 27, 2019, the "thesis scandal" has not subsided, but has become more and more popular. Why did Tsai Ing-wen make the paper public after the controversy over the paper lasted for three months? Is Tsai Ing-wen’s thesis true? These issues have always puzzled the Taiwanese people.
Recently, Taiwanese media person Peng Wenzheng, who has repeatedly questioned the authenticity of Tsai Ing-wen's degree, said that the truth of the so-called "thesis gate" is that Tsai Ing-wen could not even apply for doctoral admission, but she only wrote the pre-thesis. Chapter 3; starting in 2007, Tsai Ing-wen realized that she might "assume a big position", so she began to fill in the remaining 300 pages of the paper. Previously, when a netizen named "biolenz" cross-checked Tsai Ing-wen's London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) doctoral thesis, she also exposed seven major doubts in Tsai Ing-wen's thesis.
Regarding Tsai Ing-wen's silence on the "thesis", Taiwanese netizens said, "If there is no real paper, it is a fake doctorate." "Everyone just wants to hear the truth, if it is, it is, if it is not, it is not."
Taiwanese netizens shouted, I hope Tsai Ing-wen "will explain it quickly so that it will not be ugly when the time comes." (Overseas Network Zhang Shasha)
