Tang Jun, former president of Microsoft (China) Co., Ltd., is now the president of Xinhuadu Group. Recently, Fang, a popular science writer known as an "academic fighter", accused his doctoral degree of fraud, which caused an uproar on the Internet. The incident escalated again yesterday. Tang Jun accepted an interview with Voice of China yesterday and publicly responded to questions for the first time. But last night, Fang and others continued to ask questions about Tang Jun's academic qualifications. At the same time, a student address book began to circulate on the Internet, pointing out that there are still many public figures and Tang Jun from pacific western university, USA, and their academic qualifications are also questionable.

Question 1: Is the doctorate true or false?

First of all, he (Fang) made a setting for me in this way, and then he proved that I was not, and he was a false proposition. Under this false proposition, I certainly can't prove it. I hope everyone can understand. -Tang Jun

The authenticity of Tang Jun's education is controversial, because since July 1, popular science writer Fang has continuously published news in his Weibo that Tang Jun has obtained a doctorate in computer science from California Institute of Technology, which is untrue. "There is no such person in the alumni list of the Computer Department of California Institute of Technology, and no one is surnamed Tang; There is no such person's thesis in the doctoral thesis database of American universities. "

After many days of silence, Tang Jun accepted an exclusive interview with the Voice of China reporter yesterday and made a formal response to the "Fake Door" incident. Tang Jun said, "I never said that I got my doctorate from Caltech, but I did have some research experience at Caltech." But I did get my doctorate, though not from Caltech. "

So, where did Tang Jun's doctorate come from? He responded that he studied for five years as a doctor in Japan, and at the last minute gave up his doctoral thesis defense in Japan and went to the United States. "Finally, I did some research in a private university in the United States called Pacific Western (pacific western university), and finally got a doctorate from pacific western university, all with certificates." Tang Jun said.

Tang Jun questioned 2: Is pacific western university a "diploma workshop"?

Tang Jun said that he was a regular university at Pacific Western University, so who was his tutor at the university, what research topic did he do, what was the topic of his doctoral thesis, and where was it published? -Fang Zhouzi

Fang was educated by Tang Jun in pacific western university. Weibo said yesterday, "Tang Jun said that he is a doctor in pacific western university, but this is a famous diploma workshop selling diplomas. It is registered in Hawaii and has not been certified by an American certification body. Due to repeated fraud, it was sued by the Consumer Protection Office of the Hawaiian government in 2006 and was later dissolved by the court. " Fang pointed out that according to a survey conducted by the US General Accounting Office (Gao) in 2004, the buying and selling prices of diplomas of Tang Jun's alma mater, Pacific Western University, are as follows: a bachelor's degree, 2,295 US dollars; Master, $2,395; Doctor, $2,595, one-time payment. "The' doctoral diploma' that Tang Jun bought from the diploma workshop is no different from a fake diploma, so it cannot be recognized by society and any institution, nor can it claim to have a doctoral degree." In an interview with CCTV, Tang Jun said that there are two universities in pacific western university, the one in Hawaii is a "diploma factory", and the one he studied in California is a regular university and has always been accredited. However, Fang responded that these are two branches of the same university. The one in California is also a "diploma workshop", and the investigation of the US General Accounting Office is aimed at this school that sells diplomas.

Fang Query 3: Patent Fraud

I invented this thing myself. I made all the raw data, software and hardware. Why can't it be mine? -Tang Jun

In addition, the party also questioned Tang Jun's "forgery" on the patents of photo cameras and karaoke extensions. "First, all English introductions about photo cameras point out that photo cameras were invented by Miho Sasaki, a 30-year-old Japanese woman, from 1994 to1995; Second, the first' karaoke scoring' patent was obtained by Pawate at 1998, followed by Tanaka and Wakamoto. Tang Jun did not obtain any related patents. "

In this regard, Tang Jun responded that "the prototype of the photo sticker was invented by me" and said that he sold the prototype to a Japanese company. "I never said that I applied for a patent for a photo sticker, but the prototype of a photo sticker patent is me. On any occasion, if you watch my speech, it will appear in this way. " As for the expansion of karaoke, Tang Jun said: "I came up with the technology and design concept at school, and then made a model. I negotiated with a Korean company through a company and finally applied for a patent through them. I think I already have a patent in technology or anything. "

Tang Jun's "education" may spread to Shanda.

In an interview with Voice of China, Tang Jun said that he studied for five years as a doctor in Japan, and at the last minute gave up defending his doctoral thesis in Japan and went to the United States. The implication is that Tang Jun didn't get a doctorate in Japan.

Tang Jun's remarks aroused people's doubts about Shanda's 2004 Nasdaq prospectus. From 2004 to 2008, Tang Jun served as the president of Shanghai Shanda Network Development Co., Ltd. ... Fang pointed out in Weibo that "Shanda Nasdaq prospectus states that Tang Jun is a doctor of electronic engineering in pacific western university, USA and a doctor of electronic engineering in Nagoya University, Japan: Mr. Tang Jun holds a doctor of electronic engineering in pacific western university, USA and a doctor of electronic engineering in Nagoya University, Japan." .

"Tang Jun said in an interview with CCTV that he felt it was a pity that he didn't get a doctorate in Japan, so he wanted to study for a doctorate in an American university. However, Shanda Company claimed in the Nasdaq prospectus that Tang Jun was a doctor of electronics at Nagoya University in Japan. It can be seen that this prospectus provides false information to investors. " Fang said.

As of press time, Shanda has not yet responded to this.

Pacific western university covers a wide range.

When Fang questioned the falsification of Tang Jun's academic qualifications, Yu, chairman of the board of directors of an investment group in Beijing, spoke on Weibo, saying that exposing the authenticity of other people's diplomas ruined other people's jobs, and that "small people get success" meant that Tang Jun was very wronged. Unexpectedly, some netizens found that this person's academic qualifications also included pacific western university who was questioned.

The development of the situation became more dramatic. Some netizens further dug up the address book of pacific western university MBA doctoral students. Yangcheng Evening News reporter found from the address book that has been circulated on the Internet that there are a large number of company directors, presidents and general managers, as well as general managers of publishing houses and directors of research institutes. Some netizens laughed and said that Dr. Yu "harmed" his classmates and alumni. At present, the authenticity of this information has not been proved, and the reporter will continue to track it.
