The candidate of the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party Taoyuan Mayor Lin Zhijian, who was trapped in the storm, was announced on Friday (August 12) and announced his withdrawal.
But he did not admit plagiarism from beginning to end, emphasizing that leaving was to allow the election to return to the right track, but he still had to defend his personality and innocence.
The press conference on Tuesday (August 9th) of Taiwan University announced the results of the review of the academic ethics review committee, determined that Lin Zhijian's thesis plagiarism, and the Academic Affairs Office of the National Taiwan University also announced the revocation of his master's degree.
The National Taiwan University refers to Lin Zhijian and another master student Yu Zhenghuang's thesis content "overlap", which is more reasonable.The two papers not only are almost the same in the first seven lines, the conclusions of the dissertation are the same, and even the errors in charts and English spelling are the same.However, Yu Zhenghuang's paper was completed half a year early, so Lin Zhijian was determined to plagiarize.
Lin Zhijian has obtained a master's degree from the Chinese University and Taiwan University, but from July 5th, his two master's dissertations have been continuously consecutive from the United Daily reporter Wang Hongwei.It was accused of more than 90 % of the plagiarism.
Tsai Ing -wen, who is also the chairman of the DPP, also vowed to speak on Wednesday (August 10) on the Democratic Progressive Party."My comrades".
The 47 -year -old Lin Zhijian has a handsome and elegant appearance. In the past seven and a half years, the support of the mayor of Hsinchu mayor's polls is as high as 70 %.
On November 26 this year, about 100 days later, Taiwan will usher in a "nine -in -one" local elections. Many Democratic Progressive Party is worried that the negative effects of plagiarism will overflow.The party legislator Gao Jiayu said a big vernacular: worrying that the plagiarism incident caused "one corpse and five life", which impacted Taoyuan, Taipei, Xinbei, Keelung, and Hsinchu, the mayor of North Taiwan.
Some commentators have interpreted that the DPP was unwilling to change the "strong" before. It was to eat the weakness of the opposition party. It was believed that as long as the "blue -green duel" situation at the end of last year was repeated.Worried about the huge risk of "changing the backbone" to face the collapse of the election.
But after Tsai Ing -wen supports Lin Zhijian with the high force of the president, it is equivalent to fighting against Taiwan University, which is plagiarized with the thesis, causing young people and intellectuals to rebound.Once a few percentage points in Taiwan have a few percentage voters, they are unwilling to vote for the DPP, and this plagiarism storm may be rolled into a political tsunami.
The news of the behind -the -scenes of Lin Zhijian's retreat is endless, including the internal polls showing that Taoyuan's election is not good, and it has also begun to impact the election of Taipei with high education level.On Friday morning, a group of candidates would go to the president to talk about the consequences of "being firm to the end".
Now the controversial figures have exited, the storm caused by plagiarism in Taoyuan City has temporarily stop bleeding.But would it be true about the collapse of the election in the past?
The Democratic Progressive Party Secretary -General Lin Xiyao shouted at the press conference, thinking that Zheng Yunpeng, the legislator who took over, could be transferred to attack, and won with the assistance of the mayor of Taoyuan Zheng Wencan.
However, the current affairs commentator Guo Zhengliang pointed out on the live program that Zheng Yunpeng had previously vowed to endorse Lin Zhijian. He said that after reading the two papers, he believed that Lin Zhijian did not copy, so it was difficult to cut in the future and had to face voters.
The Democratic Progressive Party has always been good at election. Can this decisive change of replacement to stop bleeding and regain the election?The answer must be revealed for the invoicing date.
