According to Taiwan media reports, Gao Hongan, a candidate for the mayor of Hsinchu, Taiwan, was recently exposed by "Mirror Weekly" that his doctoral dissertation at the University of Cincinnati in the United States was suspected of plagiarism. Gao Hongan quickly held a press conference on September 20 to fight back , published University of Cincinnati statement confirming that his thesis is available for inspection. Gao Hongan said that the DPP wants to use mud fights to turn everyone into Lin Zhijian. This is a test of the IQ of all Taiwanese. If you say that, you are really insulting me!"

However, at the press conference, Gao Hongan said, "I graduated from the top of the list of Normal University and the top academic score of National Taiwan University. It is not like the night department of (Taiwan) Chung Hwa University." There was a wave of negative comments, and she also apologized a second time on the 21st.
The island media person "Crow Against the Wind" posted on Facebook that "Mirror Weekly" questioned Gao Hongan on three points: first, the plagiarism of the thesis violated the academic ethics regulations of the University of Cincinnati, and the doctoral dissertation may be revoked; second, Gao Hongan plagiarized the research results of the members of the Investment Strategy Association; thirdly, Gao Hongan was trained by the "Association for Asset Management" to study abroad, but after returning, he seamlessly integrated into a private enterprise. Regarding the first two questions, Gao Hongan directly presented the reply letter from the University of Cincinnati, making the so-called "explosive news" a blank bomb , and the results of "Mirror Weekly" can only be described as "super miserable".

Since the exposure of Lin Zhijian’s plagiarism, the DPP has repeatedly stretched out its black hands in an attempt to pull candidates from other parties on the island into the water, but they overturned one after another, making the campaign strategy of “splashing dirty water” ineffective. Lin Gengren, the candidate for the mayor of Hsinchu City of the Chinese Kuomintang, was recently accused by the Democratic Progressive Party Taiwan Legislature Group of his master's degree thesis at Chung Hwa University in Taiwan for plagiarism. Taiwan's Chung Hwa University pointed out on the 14th that after receiving the report, the school used two computer comparison systems for similarity comparisons, and the results determined that Lin Gengren's thesis complied with existing norms.

Even Zhang Shanzheng, a candidate for mayor of Taoyuan, the Chinese Kuomintang, who was previously revealed to have plagiarized the research report of Taiwan's "Council of Agriculture", once clarified that he could not explain to the outside world because of the lifelong confidentiality clause, and was also arrested by the green camp Doubt is deliberately avoided. In this regard, Zhang Shanzheng also held a press conference yesterday (September 21) to explain, and disclosed the content of the terms of the non-disclosure contract at that time, emphasizing that he would never avoid it. Nonsense!"

It is worth mentioning that at the press conference on September 20, Gao Hongan not only provided real evidence, but also criticized "Mirror Weekly", which broke the news that he had misbehaved, as a DPP thug , and pointed out that unidentified funders widely distributed "Mirror Weekly" in Taoyuan City and Hsinchu City.
This can't help but remind people of the "very disc incident" that happened in Taiwan.
During the island's "general election" in 2000, Lu Tonglong, a pro-green media person, recruited a group of experienced actors to perform plots to smear political opponents, and made them into CDs and distributed them widely, making voters mistakenly believe that there were wonderful inside stories and believed them to be true. During the "general election" in 2004 and the "three-in-one" election in 2005, the "very disc" reappeared on the island twice.

In December 2005, the Taipei court sentenced the principal criminal Lu Tonglong (right in the picture below) to "aggravated defamation". prison sentence, editor's note).

Some Taiwanese media pointed out that "Mirror Weekly" broke the news frequently before the "nine-in-one" election, and has become a media thug of the green camp. Its purpose is to obtain huge media business opportunities on the island. Lenovo Recently, TVBS News is facing a frequency change crisis, and it is considered that "Mirror TV" that is expected to succeed CH55, and "Mirror Weekly" are both from Taiwan Jingjing Media Co., Ltd.
made use of the artist's popularity and influence to perform the false plot of the opponent's "black material" in the "very disc" incident back then, even if the final verdict was returnedThe victim is innocent, but the fact that the candidate lost the election is irreversible. From "Very Disc" to "Mirror Weekly", the DPP has a notorious reputation for manipulating the media. Now the DPP authorities want to push the "Digital Intermediary Service Law". Their vicious intentions make people shudder. To paraphrase Gao Hong'an's speech at the press conference, "There is really no excuse for wanting to impose a crime."
