Is a qualified thesis a requirement to have a PhD in LSE?

Waiting for an internal review by London School of Economics of their handling of this request.

Dear London School of Economics,

Is it possible to have no thesis but can have a PhD in LSE?

According to the ACTV, a TV channel in the USA, reports, Tsai Ing-Wen had no thesis but been authorised a PhD in 1984. I am so surprised! and is it real? And if it real, please provide me with how to apply for the programme. Thank you!
