The Taiwan Leader’s Office announced yesterday that Chen Mingtong, head of the Taiwan authorities’ security department, has resigned from Tsai Ing-wen and will be replaced by Tsai Ming-yan, deputy director of Taiwan’s foreign affairs department. In response, Kuomintang public opinion representative Wang Hongwei html said on the 227th that Chen Mingtong is now neither "Professor Chen" nor "Director Chen" of National Taiwan University, and should face the issue of plagiarism. He emphasized that "stepping down is not the end of the matter, but the beginning of accountability." He also called on relevant units to investigate to the end, restore social conscience, and return social fairness and justice.

According to China Jingwei, Yu Zhenghuang, an investigator from Taiwan’s investigative agency, accused former Hsinchu City Mayor Lin Zhijian of plagiarizing his paper and filed a criminal private prosecution with the Taipei District Court. The Kuomintang League demanded that Lin Zhijian's professor Chen Mingtong publicly apologize and resign. Chen Mingtong claimed that Lin Zhijian's essay was "an unjust case."
According to Taiwanese media reports, Wang Hongwei pointed out that Chen Minggong’s academic scandals in the past are well known to everyone, and National Taiwan University has also lost its reputation because of him. When Chen Mingtong was questioned by public opinion representatives before, he said, "'Director Chen' does not answer 'Professor Chen's' questions." But now he is neither "Professor Chen" nor "Director Chen," and he should face the issue of plagiarism.
Wang Hongwei revealed that as the whistleblower who exposed Chen Mingtong's academic ethics, she has not yet received a clear answer as to how National Taiwan University will give him a ruling. However, she will continue to demand that she will not change the situation and ask whether Chen Mingtong will still persist after stepping down. Is Lin Zhijian’s case unjust? We must give an explanation to the society.” As for former Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan, who took over as deputy head of the administrative agency, Wang Hongwei said that after the National Taiwan University Ethics Committee determined that Zheng Wencan’s paper was plagiarized, Zheng Wencan immediately admitted that there were flaws in his writing. However, how many of the 173 papers supervised by Chen Mingtong were plagiarized? Do you want to make it public? Or do you have to let the public recognize one thing after discovering it? Chen Mingtong is required to publicly apologize to society and academia.
"Stepping down is not the end of the matter, but the beginning of accountability." Wang Hongwei believes that Chen Mingtong is criticized for trampling on academic dignity and damaging the school's reputation. Now that he has lost his public status, I hope Chen Mingtong can answer the public's questions about "Professor Chen" and call on relevant units to investigate to the end, restore social conscience, and return social fairness and justice.
