Dong Mingzhu’s “Spy Theory” Sparks Controversy: A Test of the CCP’s Xenophobic Frenzy. (AI-generated image)
[People News] On Sunday (May 18), a 27-year-old Chinese man named Wang Likun (王立坤) was arrested during the TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) English proficiency test held in Tokyo for allegedly impersonating another candidate. He was found to have concealed a microphone measuring about 3 to 4 centimetres inside his mask. Following his arrest, 30% of the candidates in the same examination room were absent.
Reports from the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) and Yomiuri Shimbun indicate that the International Business Communication Association (IIBC), the Japanese general agent for TOEIC, had previously alerted the police to suspicious activities, including instances of "the same person taking the exam under different names each time," "someone speaking Chinese quietly during the exam," and "an unusual increase in the number of Chinese candidates scoring above 900 (out of a total of 990)." Consequently, the police were already on high alert.
According to the police, Wang Likun, a second-year graduate student at Kyoto University, falsely claimed to have forgotten his admission ticket at the TOEIC test site in Itabashi, Tokyo. He attempted to fill out a temporary admission ticket using someone else's name, but his personal information did not match the identification documents, leading to his arrest on charges of "trespassing" and forgery.
Wang claimed that he was searching for part-time job opportunities online and that "someone instructed me to take the exam, saying they would pay me." This individual arranged to meet him at a station in the Kanto region, provided him with a forged student ID, and informed him of the exam location.
The police suspect that this incident may be part of an organised effort to cheat on exams.
The police reported that Wang Likun (王立坤) had taken the exam last June and again this March using two names that appeared to be Chinese, achieving scores above 900 in both cases. He had attached his photo to the admission ticket, and when he was arrested, a small microphone measuring about 3 to 4 centimetres was discovered hidden inside the mask he was wearing.
On that day, 50 candidates were originally scheduled to take the exam in the same examination room, but approximately 15 were absent. The police suspect that these individuals may have been the cheaters who were meant to receive answers from Wang Likun, and upon realizing that something was wrong, they chose to be absent at the last minute. Additionally, given Wang Likun's alleged repeated participation in exams under other people's names, the police are investigating whether this is part of an organized scheme of exam cheating.
