In the "nine-in-one" election on the island at the end of the year, Lin Zhijian, a candidate for Taoyuan mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party, became increasingly stormy with the help of public opinion due to suspected plagiarism of papers.

In the "nine-in-one" election on the island at the end of the year, Lin Zhijian, a candidate for Taoyuan mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party, became increasingly stormy due to suspected plagiarism of papers. In the end, Lin Zhijian's plagiarism was proven by the criticism of many people, and he had to voluntarily withdraw from the election. However, the "paper gate" launched by the election campaign did not end there, and it was really unexpected that there was a follow-up. Recently, Tsai Shiying, a candidate for the mayor of Keelung, a member of the Democratic Progressive Party, was also exposed that the paper was suspected of plagiarism. The almost identical election starts. Will the DPP fall into the same pit twice?

Cai Shiying was exposed to have been suspected of plagiarism when she was studying at the "Urban Planning Institute" of Taipei University. The most outrageous thing is that his papers even include content that is suspected of copying non-academic materials such as Wikipedia and Baidu Encyclopedia. This inevitably reminds people of the details that even the typos are exactly the same in Lin Zhijian's paper plagiarism case. It can be said that Cai Shiying is already repeating Lin Zhijian's mistakes.

Cai Shiying obtained his doctorate two years ago, which was regarded by the outside world as as a highlight of his campaign, and it even hit the campaign billboard. Recently, it was reported by three public opinion representatives in Taipei City. After comparing Cai Shiying's doctoral thesis word by word, they found huge problems. One is that the paper "cited" 30 documents, of which 25 points did not indicate the source, which means plagiarism. It copied irrelevant academic content, and even came directly from Wikipedia and Baidu Encyclopedia. The relevant evidence of plagiarism investigation has also been sent to Taipei University.

In addition to certain special circumstances, in order to ensure the reliability of the content source, college papers generally do not directly quote informal parts such as online encyclopedia that are not supported by academic evidence. This is a consensus in the global academic community, and Taiwanese universities are no exception. Cai Shiying's plagiarism method can be said to be a "mosaic" piece of paper, and even college student reports cannot be written like this, let alone a doctoral thesis? So, Cai Shihui is facing the same situation as Lin Zhijian at the time. That is, as a candidate for Keelung mayor, he has serious flaws in academic ethics and moral integrity, which has impacted the bottom line of social moral concepts. How can Keelung people still believe him?

Lin Zhijian made another "court gate" after the "paper gate", and did not do a good job in repairing the Hsinchu stadium during his tenure as mayor of Hsinchu . What was exposed in the "court gate" was not a big problem, but when the "paper gate" fermented, the "court gate" also became a catalyst for knocking down Lin Zhijian's campaign image. Therefore, when Lin Zhijian was forced to withdraw from the election due to the "paper gate" and the DPP's poll was hit, another "pig teammate" who was about to fall into the same pit appeared, which would also accelerate the catalyzing of the DPP's unfavorable election situation.

So what should the DPP do? Like the whole party is trying to protect Lin Zhijian and help Cai Shi adapt? Lin Zhijian's ability to receive support from the entire Democratic Progressive Party is related to his deep favor from Tsai Ing-wen. But Tsai Shi is not sure. He belongs to the "Party Congress" faction within the Democratic Progressive Party and has no direct contact with Tsai Ing-wen. The faction leader Lin Jialong is also in New Taipei at this moment, and the support within the party that can mobilize is relatively limited. However, even if it is deeply trapped in the storm, Cai Shixing may not need the outside world to worry too much for him.

Because Lin Zhijian's plagiarism is completely impostor, it is hard to save the whole party, and Cai Shiying may be able to save it. Cai Shiying was pointed out that the most serious plagiarism was the conclusion part, with a plagiarism rate of more than 7,000 words as high as 33%, but compared with the overall 130,000 words paper, the copy ratio was only around 5%. Cai Shiying argued with reason and still had a chance to whitewash it. However, the successive plagiarism incidents will definitely be a significant blow to the DPP's election situation, and it will also allow Taiwanese voters to see clearly that candidates without real talent and knowledge will not be able to hide their academic qualifications after being "packaged". The truth will eventually be revealed to the world.
