Only a few days ago, Lin Zhijian, a candidate for mayor of Taoyuan City, was bombarded for plagiarizing the thesis of Lin Zhijian. Day and lawyer Weng Shichun said at the gate of Ming Chuan University in Taiwan that if there is plagiarism in the thesis, the school can convene the thesis review committee as soon as possible, and she will definitely be there to explain that she will not hide like Lin Zhijian.
Lin Xinger’s master’s thesis published in Ming Chuan University was revealed that she plagiarized Lin Rixuan’s English paper published in the Asian Journal of Communication and the research of the National Science Council, even with typos and formatting mistakes. The same, but because Cai Ying was written in Chinese, the comparison system of papers in different languages could not catch it, and even deliberately falsified the poll numbers.
Lin Xinger said, "The Democratic Progressive Party should not use my little chicken to save the hen." Now it is shooting the little bird with a cannon. If I were a candidate, the KMT deputy spokesperson under your title, isn't it a political operation? ? Why do they make a lot of news based on anonymous revelations? For example, Taipei City Councilor Wang Hongwei of the Kuomintang also reported by name, calling on anonymous whistleblowers to report to the school by name, and ask the school to set up a review committee.
Lin Xinger emphasized that she must personally go to the thesis review committee to explain that she will not hide like Lin Zhijian. Lin Zhijian is an incumbent political figure and should be politically responsible, and Chen Mingtong should also take responsibility for stepping down.
Lin Xinger explained that the abstract of the paper clearly stated that this research mainly cited the data released by Professor Lin Rixuan of National Chengchi University. Paragraph 22, where should it be pointed out that this is misleading voters who watch the news.
The media asked that some parts of the thesis were translated from English to Chinese. Regarding this, Lin Xinger said, did the paper refer to English? After the English was translated, she added her own thoughts, and the wording was different. As for the typo of "PPT", she said that it was just a typo. For the part of the poll figures, she referred to the same 2008 Taiwan leader election poll data, but Cognition is different.
Lin Xinger emphasized that she has worked hard at the local government for many years, and it is unfair for her to let her hard work go down the drain if an anonymous person breaks the news. She will resort to legal action to defend her innocence. The thesis review committee was held, "There is really plagiarism, I would rather not have this thesis", but the school has not responded yet, and is studying the time.
Lin Xinger finally said that if it is reviewed with a high standard, it is not even a reference, and it is not a thesis. It is a composition without reference to others. Plagiarism, so it is accused of plagiarism, it is too harsh on her. (Source: China Times News Network)
