Island media person Peng Wenzheng was accused by Tsai Ing-wen of defamation due to his pursuit of the authenticity of Tsai Ing-wen's "paper" during last year's election. The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office summoned him to appear in court for the first time on the 14th. On the 20th, Peng announced on the online political commentary program "Political and Economic Affairs" that there will be another lawsuit "grand debut" on October 27, and the defendant is Tsai Ing-wen.

He emphasized that this is a civil court. Strictly speaking, it is the civil court where Tsai Ing-wen is the first defendant. "I sue Tsai Ing-wen" to confirm that her 1983 and 1984 papers do not exist.

On December 9, 2019, Peng Wenzheng filed a lawsuit with the court to “confirm that the paper does not exist.” The Taipei District Court ruled against it on January 15 this year, on the grounds that the existence of the thesis or whether one has a doctorate are purely factual issues, not legal relations, and cannot be the subject of litigation.

Peng Wenzheng was dissatisfied and appealed. On March 11, the High Court conducted a computer lottery to divide the case. As a result, Judge Zhou Meiyun won the lottery and served as the appointed judge. President Wu Qingrong of the collegial panel to which he belonged served as the presiding judge, and Judge Lin Zhengyou served as the associate judge.

Peng Wenzheng pointed out that in the first instance of the case, the witnesses and physical evidence were already in hand, but it was obvious that high-level officials were involved in the judgment. The witnesses may not dare to stand up for defense, but the physical evidence cannot escape. He also named the judge of the first instance who will become famous in the next 3 to 5 years, "because we will continue to accuse you." The judge of the first instance was Zhang Yonghui.

"China Times News Network" reported that Peng Wenzheng said that the biggest mistake the judge made was not to rule him lose or win. He respects judicial decisions, but procedural justice cannot be done like this. The case was pronounced four days after the "election", that is, on January 15. He only found out he lost the case after watching TV. He announced the verdict to the media first, and did not summon the plaintiff during the process. The reason for the final rejection was that he didn't know what to sue, "Why don't you come and ask?" "

In addition, Peng Wenzheng also said that this case did two very strange things in judicial judgments. The first is that the content of the claim was not seen, but this may be very common and the judge ignores it; the second is that there is no claim but it is written in the judgment. This is called forging official documents. He emphasized that he will continue to pursue it. Zhang Jing, the lawyer in this case, has sued the judge, but it seems that he is still in the middle of the case. "If you don't move, we will send you to the judge evaluation committee."

Peng Wenzheng calls himself a "Taiwanese". In the past, he invented a new word "Taiken" to replace "taken" in a program, which triggered ridicule from the outside world. Mainland netizens gave him the nickname "Taiken host".
