According to global website , citing a report from Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao, on the evening of October 14, the People's Party "legislator" Cai Biru, who was deeply involved in the alleged plagiarism of his master's thesis, announced his resignation.
In August of this year, some media on the island broke the news that Cai Biru was suspected of plagiarism. At that time, Cai Biru responded that her citations were all cited, and academically did not constitute plagiarism. Cai Biru also took the initiative to request an academic ethics review meeting, and said he was confident to make it clear.
And just recently, Deming University of Finance and Technology took the initiative to accuse Cai Biru of plagiarism in nine cases and misled others into believing that it was his own originality, which violated academic ethics. . This incident instantly sparked heated discussions on the island, especially from the DPP, which is even more plausible. When Lin Zhijian was deeply involved in the "dissertation gate" incident, Ke Wenzhe slammed the DPP, but now Cai Biru has been found to have plagiarized his thesis, but the People's Party has been criticized by the DPP as a "double-standard party". Candidates are worried that if the fire continues, it may affect the election of the county mayor and councillors. In response to Cai Biru's master's thesis,
said that compared with Lin Zhijian, the suspected plagiarism problem of Cai Biru's master's thesis is not too serious. Controversial content in her master's thesis was simply a reference to a social media post by a Taipei city councillor without attribution, which caused her trouble.
In fact, even Deco's "judgment" said that it was not "serious plagiarism" but "improper citation". Interestingly, until Cai Biru announced his resignation on the evening of October 14, Deming University of Finance and Technology did not send Cai Biru a judgment , but replaced all legal formalities with a "press release". Regarding this matter, on October 14, Ke Wenzhe said that the school is going to issue a verdict, "the whole thing is strange". When
resigned on October 14, Cai Biru said that her resignation was her public commitment, not because of problems with the thesis, and she would continue to file complaints to defend her innocence and rights.
Since Lin Zhijian's "Thesis Gate" incident, "paper plagiarism" has become a major focus, and most of the people who have been exposed for alleged plagiarism are candidates for this election. But Cai Biru did not participate in this "nine-in-one" election , why is she also being targeted?
Cai Biru was a nurse practitioner at National Taiwan University Hospital. For more than 20 years, he followed Ko Wenzhe from National Taiwan University Hospital to the Taipei City Government. He is also one of the founders of the Taiwan People's Party. Therefore, Cai Biru can be called Ke Wenzhe's right-hand man and an absolute crony.
To the People's Party, Cai Biru is also a soul. Before the People's Party held its inaugural meeting, she was assigned by Ke Wenzhe to register the party, and the preparatory work for the founding of the People's Party was also handled by her. After the establishment of the party, he once presided over party affairs. It can be seen that Cai Biru's importance in the People's Party.
It is worth noting that Cai Biru is also in charge of the People's Party's election operations. Cai Biru is the convener of the 2022 People's Party Election Team. Except for Taipei City, Taoyuan City, Hsinchu City, and Yilan County, Cai Biru is in charge of the election of county and city councillors.
According to the general analysis of the island's media, the "paper plagiarism" incident hit Cai Biru for two purposes. First, it affects the current elections of the People's Party, especially the elections of Huang Shanshan in Taipei and Gao Hongan in Hsinchu City. It is worth noting that with the countdown to the election, the DPP is currently concentrating on Hsinchu .
Second, it is intended to interfere with Ke Wenzhe's road to 2024. At present, Ko Wenzhe still holds the position of mayor of Taipei, and there are three deputy mayors. Huang Shanshan has already chosen Taipei mayor. Cai Bingkun collapsed from a stroke in July and is in a coma. Currently, there is only one deputy. Therefore, Ke Wenzhe can be called a lack of skills. After Cai Biru resigned quickly, it is estimated that he will avoid the limelight for a while, and may no longer be able to publicly lead the People's Party to run the election before the election. For Ke Wenzhe, if he does not play well in 2022, it will have a big impact on his voice after he resigns as mayor of Taipei City and the layout of 2024.
