After former National Security Bureau Director Chen Ming-Tong retired from National Taiwan University, he collaborated with former Hsinchu City Mayor Lin Chih-Chien on an autobiographical book claiming innocence regarding a thesis plagiarism case. Chen Ming-Tong enlisted the support of KMT legislator Wang Hong-Wei and other figures to help exonerate Lin Chih-Chien, sparking criticism over academic ethics. Wang Hong-Wei questioned the moral integrity of Chen Ming-Tong and others for attempting to rewrite the narrative of the well-established plagiarism case, emphasizing the importance of upholding academic freedom and integrity.
