DPP Taoyuan mayor candidate Lin Zhijian’s master’s thesis was found to be seriously plagiarized by National Taiwan University and his degree was revoked. Tsai Ing-wen, who is also the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, asked all party officials to unite and "support Lin Zhijian in defending his innocence." Media person Wu Zijia believes that Tsai Ing-wen's strong support for Lin Zhijian will not have good results, because the DPP may be divided, and other forces will jump out to challenge Tsai Ing-wen.
Wu Zijia analyzed in the "Critical Moment" program on the 10th that Tsai Ing-wen dealt with Lin Zhijian's plagiarism case in three stages: the first time she handled it, she said that Lin Zhijian had been discredited; the second time, she said that Lin Zhijian "should continue to use evidence as the basis." "Basic, explain it to all walks of life"; the third time she handled this matter, she did not talk about evidence, that is, she just ignored you, and started fighting with National Taiwan University.
Wu Zijia feels that the reason why there are such serious contradictions and conflicts in what Tsai Ing-wen said the second and third time is completely caused by the inertia of powerful people, which is called "turning a deer into a horse." In other words, she overestimated the power of leaders and her own strength, and then led a team to challenge the academic impartiality of National Taiwan University. How serious this matter is.
Wu Zijia predicted that if Tsai Ing-wen insists on Lin Zhijian like this, she will lose money and there will be no good results. I am afraid that the DPP will split internally and other forces will jump out to challenge Tsai Ing-wen. Because this situation is not what Tsai Ing-wen imagined. Tsai Ing-wen thought about the operation of power, but did not think about issues of morality and legitimacy.
In addition, the host asked, will the "thesis gate" be fought to the end in Taiwan? Wu Zijia responded that the result of the collision between the two parties would be the death of a lot of Chen Mingtong's students, and it would be an ugly situation. Then Tsai Ing-wen defends Lin Zhijian. Whether she can succeed depends on whether she will win the Taoyuan mayoral election. (Xue Yang/Editor)
