Tsai Ing-wen's PhD thesis

The issue here is that there is no digital copy. And though the library page says it’s on the shelf somewhere, no one was able to prove the physical copy acutally exists. Even the guy who claims he went to the LSE library only got the librarian to get to that page you posted.

The fact the library only just provided a digital record of the thesis this year is also making it harder to dispel the rumor.
