China Taiwan Network reported on January 30th, according to Taiwan's "China Times Electronic News", in response to the doubts about Tsai Ing-wen's doctoral thesis, Tsai Ing-wen's spokesperson Zhang Dunhan and others held a press conference to explain on September 23 last year. Taiwanese host Peng Wenzheng pointed out directly that what Zhang Dunhan said revealed the truth, and eating the New Year’s Eve dinner will really make people complain.
Zhang Dunhan claimed at the time that Tsai Ing-wen's paper and data presented by the London School of Political Science and Economics (LSE) showed that Tsai Ing-wen's doctoral thesis oral examination was passed on the spot. The professor did not ask Tsai Ing-wen to modify the content, but modified the misunderstandings in the doctoral thesis part. Back then, it was the era of typewriters. Without Word, there was no way to archive it, so it was normal and natural to write and modify it by hand.
Peng Wen pointed out in his political commentary program that if you are having the New Year’s Eve dinner on the fifth day of the New Year, you must be careful, otherwise you will really get angry. Zhang Dunhan said, "Tsai Ing-wen's oral examination of her doctoral thesis was passed on the spot, and the professor did not ask her to modify the content." Peng Wenzheng emphasized that two things were exposed, because all the doctoral students in the UK told them that the oral examination of the doctoral examination in the UK did not pass the project on the spot, and they were all post-examinations, and they would receive a notice of the review in about a month or two or three weeks.
Peng Wenzheng pointed out that Zhang Dunhan also clearly said, "The professor did not ask Tsai Ing-wen to modify the content, but modified some of the misunderstandings in his doctoral thesis." Peng Wenzheng questioned this and said, if the typing is wrong, can't that page be re-printed? No one asked her to save the file. If there are typos on that page, just type it again.
