TANG Jun, the former president of Microsoft China, has said he is an honest man following a week's silence after being accused of faking a diploma.
But he was also quoted by the Beijing News as saying: "Losers cheat some people and get caught. Winners cheat the whole world all the time."
Tang was due to be interviewed on Shanghai-based CBN on Monday to "clear up the queries," but failed to appear. Tang's assistant said he needed one more week.
One of the most prominent professional managers in China, Tang was involved in the academic credential scandal after Fang Zhouzi, a "science cop" famous for fighting forgery, posted evidence of Tang's fake resume on July 1.
Tang was quoted by yesterday's Beijing News as saying he could understand people questioning his honesty. But they didn't know the truth, which he would reveal "at the proper time."
Tang said he was always an honest person and was only being brave to remain silent in such a scandal. But he also said honesty weighed little in success.
Tang earlier admitted that he was not a graduate from California Institute of Technology, despite leading people to believe that from his memoirs and interviews. Instead, he held a diploma from Pacific Western University in California.
The university's Hawaii branch was closed in 2006 for selling degrees.
On Chinese website hudong.com, there was a 70 to 80 percent rise in changes being made to celebrities' resumes last week, China Business News reported yesterday.
