Jiang Wanan once claimed to have a doctorate on his personal LinkedIn, election boards and communiqués, but in fact he only held a J.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania. J.D. is the basic degree of American law and is a non-research doctorate. The S.J.D. is the highest academic degree in the field of law. His team had previously claimed that the academic qualifications were mistakenly assigned due to the translator commissioned by former Legislative Yuan You Xikun during his tenure. However, a video of the program from two years ago was recently discovered, showing that Jiang Wanan himself claimed to have read "Shuo Jia Bo".

When Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan was a legislator, his English resume in the Legislative Yuan was caught, and the "beautified" academic qualifications from the University of Pennsylvania in the United States were "corrected and returned". Chiang Wanan and his team alleged that when former Legislative Yuan Yu Xikun was in office, he commissioned a manufacturer to have an English translation error. Recently, someone discovered that Jiang Wanan himself claimed to be a "doctor" even though he did not have a doctorate, sparking heated discussions.

In the United States, S.J.D. (Doctor of Juridical Science) is the highest-level academic research doctorate in legal education. It focuses on original papers and academic research. Its main goal is to train legal scholars or university professors; J.D. (Juris Doctor) is the basic degree in American legal education. It is mainly for obtaining practical training to apply for the U.S. bar qualification without submitting a paper. Although these two degrees are both translated as "doctor" in Chinese, they are actually very different. People with a J.D. degree will not be called "doctor" abroad.
In the past, Jiang Wanan claimed to be "Doctor" whether on his personal LinkedIn, on election boards or in the bulletin. Suspected to avoid further controversy, Jiang Wanan's English resume that he retained in the Legislative Yuan originally stated that he had an S.J.D. degree, but was caught secretly changing it back to J.D. This operation only aggravated the doubts, but the team argued that the translation was wrong at the time. The Chinese academic qualification information they provided was always correct. However, many Penn alumni came forward to slap it. The name and degree title of the Penn diploma were themselves in English. If it was a translation problem, there was only an error in "English to Chinese". Why did Jiang Wanan specifically translate the certificate content into Chinese and then submit it to the Legislative Yuan to translate it back into English?
Not only that, a video of Jiang Wanan appearing on the well-known online program "Amazing Talker Show" two years ago was also uncovered. Jiang Wanan was asked by the host Eko whether he studied for a master's degree in the United States? Jiang Wanan added that "Master plus Ph.D." means studying for a Ph.D. after completing a master's degree. In addition, Jiang Wanan also revealed in the show that he was called "Party Animal" when he was studying abroad, and he also showed a meaningful smile. He also shared his past as a lawyer in Silicon Valley, and he was proud to be a lawyer there, and his English must be "perfect".
After this video was dug up, netizens made pilgrimages to the bottom one after another, "Come back in two years to watch the jokes and see how far a politician can boast", "The algorithm took me to watch the three-surnamed Wan An's English", "Come back and watch the real amazing stuff" talker", "The mayor of Taipei used to have a false prince persona, but today he has become a speculative bastard!", "Does the English need to be perfect? What's going on with the Harvard speech crystal crystal?", "Let's look at the fakes that deceive academic qualifications", "If he asked him at Eko if he had a master's degree When he was a scholar, he could stop his losses immediately if he could answer truthfully, but unfortunately he didn't, and the lie still had to be made up." "Mr. An actually claimed to have obtained a "Doctor of Laws"? When Eko asked the question, he emphasized, "You have obtained a master's degree!" But Mr. An emphasized that he had obtained a "Doctor of Laws"! What a boast."
