Chen Mingtong: It's Yu Zhenghuang? "Learning from" Lin Zhijian
In order to clear the suspicion of plagiarism, Lin Zhijian urged the instructors of Taiwan's Chung Hwa University and National Taiwan University to come forward to clarify and endorsed .
Professors from Taiwan's Chung Hwa University believe that "Lin Chi-kin participated in discussions, questionnaire distribution, recycling and data analysis, and he used relevant research content in his master's thesis. The professors think it is reasonable and reasonable." On the surface, it seems plausible, but in fact it is Full of loopholes. Lin Zhijian's paper is simply a copy of the paper jointly published by these professors. He copied the entire paper without even bothering to correct typos. Is it just "using relevant research content"?
National Taiwan University Honorary Professor He Defen angrily choked Chen Mingtong
As for Chen Mingtong, Lin Zhijian's supervisor at National Taiwan University, he claimed that this was a "misunderstanding from the outside world" because Yu Zhenghuang's paper was published earlier and Lin Zhijian's paper was published later, so it was suspected that there was "plagiarism" in the "similarities". suspicion; in fact, it was Lin Zhijian who finished writing it first and "generously provided" the relevant information to Yu Zhenghuang. Chen Mingtong's move turned the tables, and the "plagiarizer" became the "plagiarized" person. The golden cicada escaped from its shell and turned against its customers.
Lin Baochun, a retired professor from a public university on the island, commented bluntly in Taiwan's "China Times" that these professors firstly want to protect their own image, and secondly, they are eager to protect others, avoid the important and ignore the important, and even confuse right and wrong. In fact, this really highlights some of the current academic circles. The disadvantages should be condemned.
Zhang Jingsen: It is not necessary to write a thesis for a master's degree.
Zhang Jingsen, the "Political Affairs Councilor" of the Taiwan government's administrative agency, yesterday said directly in order to protect Lin Zhijian: "It is an outdated and pedantic concept that a master's degree must write a thesis"!
According to Taiwan's "Convergence News" report, Zhang Jingsen said that writing a thesis is academic training. Unless you want to enter a doctoral class to engage in academic research in the future, you can graduate after completing the credits in the master's class, and you do not have to write a thesis! As for the purpose of the master's degree in-service class, it is for further study, and there should be no requirement to write a thesis at all! Zhang Jingsen also said that this is the norm in Europe and the United States. For some reason, Taiwan's higher education has never been clarified. "We should no longer have such an outdated and pedantic concept that master's classes must write a thesis!"
The education authorities of the Taiwan authorities also responded, "We will consider whether to write a thesis for the master's degree based on the opinions of all walks of life."
caused a burst of ridicule from netizens on the island: "Everyone has misunderstood! You also need to look at the party card ! If the party card is green, there is no need to write an essay. If you don't have a party card or the party card is not green, then the review will be strengthened. The paper Double the oral committee and double the comparison system standards. Only in this way can we have the value of Taiwan and truly love Taiwan.” 11.8%

After Lin Zhijian was involved in the paper plagiarism scandal, some media disclosed an internal poll of the Green Camp. In terms of the support of the Taoyuan Mayor, Lin Zhijian was 41.6%, and Zhang Shanzheng was 29.8%. %; Lin Zhijian led Zhang Shanzheng by 11.8%. Lin Zhijian also insisted that "the poll is original", and public opinion was dumbfounded.
In fact, according to statistics from the island's "Internet Thermometer", in terms of online favorability, when the "Zhu-Zhu Merger" was proposed, Lin Zhijian's online favorability was 0.89; after deciding to elect Taoyuan mayor, the online favorability dropped to 0.47; thesis After the plagiarism incident broke out, the online favorability score was only 0.26.
Taipei City Councilor Xu Qiaoxin directly exposed that the polling company commissioned by Lin Zhijian is "Exquisite Public Opinion Poll Consulting Co., Ltd.", which is also the polling company used by Green Camp. In 2016, the labor department of the Taiwan authorities commissioned this polling company to conduct a survey on ", one case, one holiday", and unexpectedly obtained the conclusion that 85.8% of the people supported "one case, one holiday". It was criticized as not in line with the actual public opinion, and it was simply out to help the Democratic Progressive Party. Propaganda about the land-clearing by the authorities.
In addition, Zheng Junsheng, the general manager of the polling company, served as the director of the Democratic Progressive Party Polling Center. During the period when former Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou was in power, he often cooperated with the green camp to take the lead in attacking Ma Ying-jeou.
In fact, not only Lin Zhijian himself knows exactly how Lin Zhijian's thesis was completed, but also the Democratic Progressive Party. Tsai Ing-wen, who is also deeply involved in the "thesis scandal", knows even more clearly! Such a rush to appear and escort cannot change the fact that Lin Zhijian's paper is suspected of "plagiarism".
It is a pity that this drama has shown us that the DPP people can do anything for the political power without any lower limit. We have also seen that people in the academic circle do not cherish their reputation, collude with politicians, and are willing to be the minions and lackeys of the political power. , this can really be said to be "the shamelessness of scholar-bureaucrats and the shame of Taiwan."
