Myolie Lin emphasized that she would personally go to the thesis review committee and explain that she would not hide like Lin Zhijian.

Myolie Lin explained that the abstract of the paper clearly stated that this study mainly quoted the information released by Professor Lin Rixuan of National Chengchi University. To be cautious, she also went to the comparison system and confirmed that the similarity index was 16%. She also emphasized that the news broke that she had repeated In paragraph 22, where should I point out that this is misleading voters who watch the news.

media asked about some parts of the paper being translated from English to Chinese. In response, Myolie Lin said, does the reference for the paper say that it cannot be referenced in English? After the English was translated, she added her own ideas and the wording was different. As for the typo of "PPT", she said it was just a mistake. For the poll numbers, she referred to the same 2008 Taiwan leader election poll data, but Perception is different.

Myolie Lin emphasized that she would take legal action to defend her innocence. If the paper is plagiarized, the school can convene a paper review committee as soon as possible. "If there is really plagiarism, I would rather not take this paper." The school has not yet Reply, studying the time.

Zhao Shaokang said, "In the face of accusations, Myolie Lin's attitude is magnanimous and unafraid of testing, which is very different from Lin Zhijian's dodge and stubbornness. This is the reaction that should be had when one's character is questioned. Has Lin Zhijian seen it?"

Zhao Shaokang said that according to media reports, the evidence for accusing Myolie Lin of plagiarism was weak, and the reporter was anonymous and did not dare to be named. This made Zhao Shaokang think, "It is obvious that the DPP wants to use Myolie Lin's paper to divert the public. Regarding the media operation that focuses on Lin Zhijian's thesis, this kind of flawless and crude smear method can be seen by just comparing the contents of the thesis."Myolie Lin quickly held a press conference today to fight back, and also took the initiative to ask Mingchuan University to publicly review her master's thesis, fully demonstrating her confidence that real gold is not afraid of fire.

This also made Zhao Shaokang also shout out, asking Lin Zhijian: "Dare Myolie Lin, do you dare?" This included attending the thesis review meeting of National Taiwan University, and asking National Taiwan University to broadcast the entire process live and spread all the evidence in the sun. Zhao Shaokang emphasized, "Myolie Lin's paper citations not only indicate the source, but also undergo systematic review through paper comparison. The best way to fight against slander is to be open, transparent and confront it head-on."
