Tsai Ing-wen
According to Global Network , according to reports from the island media, Peng Wenzheng recently formally filed a civil lawsuit claim that Tsai Ing-wen failed to pass the "1984 edition of the London School of Political Science and Economics (LSE) Doctoral Dissertation", and he could not obtain a doctorate without a doctoral dissertation. Tsai Ing-wen accused him of smearing, spreading rumors and spreading fake news, so he also sued Peng Wen-zheng for the crime of hindering reputation.
Against this background, on the afternoon of November 29, the Taipei District Court officially held a trial. It is worth noting that the Taipei District Court held a trial on the matter of "Tsai Ing-wen's doctoral thesis". The party Tsai Ing-wen did not officially appear in court, while Peng Wenzheng appeared in court through video links. In addition, both parties sent their respective lawyers to appear in court.
It is worth noting that due to the continued focus on Tsai Ing-wen's "paper gate", Peng Wenzheng was wanted by the DPP authorities and his "passport" was also revoked. This may be an important reason why Peng Wenzheng was unable to appear in Taipei. In this court, Peng Wenzheng also talked about this.
Tsai Ing-wen’s “paper door” case was held for 3 hours in total, so what did they talk about in these three hours? I have to say that in this court. Tsai Ing-wen and Peng Wen-zheng had a fierce quarrel.
Tsai Ing-wen's attorney Lian Yuanlong presented a reissue of Tsai Ing-wen's doctoral degree certificate in court, and emphasized that the school will issue a degree certificate only if Tsai Ing-wen has submitted her thesis and passed the oral examination. The degree certificate can prove that Tsai Ing-wen's doctoral thesis exists. At this time, Peng Wenzheng fought back and said, "I ask if you have a marriage certificate, why are you doing with your child?" Peng Wenzheng emphasized that Tsai Ing-wen just couldn't get the paper out, so she only provided a truck of indirect evidence in the workshop.

This is indeed the case. The current focus is on Tsai Ing-wen's original paper, not the reissue of Tsai Ing-wen's doctoral thesis. At this time, the judge also asked Lian Yuanlong: "Is there any original paper that has been preserved from 1984 to the present?" Lian Ze admitted: "Yes! You can bring it here tomorrow!"
However, I didn't expect that just after Lian said this, Peng Wenzheng's lawyer Zhang Jing, who was standing by, revealed that they had found the doctoral thesis comparison of Tsai Ing-wen's classmate 30 years ago. Zhang Jing emphasized that LSE's doctoral thesis has several characteristics: the first is "blue skin", and the ones that will be given tomorrow should be yellow skin or black skin; the second is "anti-counterfeiting line"; the third is " copyright page "; the fourth is "flowing water number", which is the number of the doctoral thesis since 1895, and the forged ones cannot be inserted at all; the fifth is "single-side printing", because the printing method at that time did not allow double-side printing. Zhang Jing also said that on November 30, she could also play videos in court to compare with the papers brought by Lian Yuanlong.
I have to say that Peng Wenzheng's side has put a lot of effort into pursuing Tsai Ing-wen's paper, and many details about the doctoral thesis that year have been investigated clearly. So how did Tsai Ing-wen answer?
Lian Yuanlong emphasized after listening to it that Tsai Ing-wen is a student, and the student handed over the paper to the school. How to preserve the school is the school’s business. Peng Wen-zheng asked to sue LSE. This is interesting. Lian Yuanlong's words clearly show that even on November 30, he could really use the so-called "original paper" of Tsai Ing-wen, which may not correspond to the relevant details displayed by Zhang Jing. He made some excuses for Tsai Ing-wen's paper in advance and shifted the focus to LSE.
Taipei District Court
Peng Wenzheng, Zhang Jing and another lawyer Li Zhenhua refuted that the so-called Tsai Ing-wen's paper was not preserved as a paper in LSE. It was only sent to the "Women's Library" in 2019. This book is also in the Taiwan Library. They requested that the LSE and the people who included the papers in the library should be summoned to testify. Peng Wenzheng emphasized that the party involved should be summoned to testify in court.
It has to be said that Peng Wenzheng's side was obviously prepared, and he even directly listed the five characteristics of his doctoral thesis in 1984, which is really amazing.
