Chinese state newspaper Global Times He praised the Chinese Communist Party on Sunday for hosting a “national commemoration of human organ donation” amid mounting evidence over the years that the party kills political prisoners to sell their bodies. It lent a veneer of legitimacy to Beijing’s organ industry.
journalists, human rights activists, witnesses, etc. one doctor This individual claims to have harvested organs from alive and healthy political prisoners, and is willing to sell them on demand to individuals willing to pay for an expedited transplant schedule. He has long accused the Communist Party of killing people. Chinese authorities are reportedly targeting Falun Gong practitioners, who are known to abstain from drugs and alcohol, and Uighur Muslims, whose organs could be sold to wealthy Muslims in the Middle East. thousands of people may be killed each year.
At a Congressional hearing in late March, one of the top researchers on the subject, Ethan Gutman, told U.S. lawmakers that China kills as many as 50,000 Uyghurs a year, based on discrepancies in government documents regarding organ transplants. He said it seems like it is. To steal their organs. China is currently engaging in what the free world widely recognizes as genocide against Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples in occupied East Turkestan, forcing millions of people into concentration camps and They practice indoctrination, slavery, forced sterilization, and other atrocities.

The Chinese government insists that its booming organ transplant industry is legitimate and that all organs are donated voluntarily. Increasingly, they are hosting events that boast the huge organ transplant industry. For example, in December, China hosted two events on “organ donation” related to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China’s global plan to influence poor countries through predatory lending.
In Sunday’s report, Global Times claimed 6.7 million people in Japan are registered to donate organs in the event of an unexpected death, and many enthusiastically participated in Saturday’s memorial service for organ donors.
“A memorial service for organ donors was held on Saturday afternoon at a cemetery on the outskirts of Hangzhou. After some donors were eco-buried on the spot, attendees presented them with flower baskets and offered their condolences to their families. expressed his feelings,” the state propaganda agency detailed. The next day, another event featured “storytelling, stage plays, readings, song and dance,” and “addressed the inspiring stories and great spirit of love of organ donors and their families, transplant patients, organ donation coordinators, and medical professionals.” was also shared with Red Cross staff and volunteers. ”

The events are: It is scheduled The event coincided with the upcoming Qingming Festival, known as “Grave Sweeping Day,” when many people in China visit the graves of their loved ones, clean them and leave offerings to honor the dead.
“In China, Qingming Festival and the day before it are days when beneficiaries and people from all walks of life remember organ donors.” Global Times He explained. “In recent days, various provinces have hosted local memorial ceremonies, including Jiangsu in eastern China, Hainan in southern China, Sichuan and Chongqing in southwestern China, and Hebei in northern China.”

The state-run newspaper also noted that it expects the Chinese government to pass a law to streamline organ “donation” and transplantation in December. The Communist Party Law focuses on intense “propaganda of organ donation” to persuade more Chinese people to register as donors, and on “provisions regarding organ procurement and distribution… to make the whole process more transparent and fair.” I’m leaving it there.
China has long faced allegations that it kills political prisoners for organ trafficking.
“In early 2000…transplant waiting times increased from months to weeks to days to even hours,” researcher Matthew Robertson said at a hearing of the Chinese Congress Executive Committee (CECC) in March. I did,” he said. “Organ transplantation has gone from being a specialized treatment primarily targeted at party officials to a routine treatment available nationwide.”
Robertson said that Beijing “hosts a state-sponsored human organ market in China, where prices are openly advertised on hospital websites and there are large price differences between foreign and domestic patients.” There is,” he said. The website does not explain how it is possible for hospitals to quickly procure human organs on demand in a system that claims to only use voluntarily donated organs.
A 2022 study from the Australian National University (ANU) found that evidence extracted from China’s organ transplant system shows that the Chinese government claims that the direct cause of many prisoner organ transplants is “problematic brain death declarations.” They concluded that this shows that surgeons are being made into “executioners.” The transplanted body appeared to have been dismembered by a doctor.
“The leaders of China’s transplant sector wrote in 2007 that virtually 95% of all organ transplants come from prisoners,” the researchers said. The report noted that in many cases, “declaration of brain death may not have been medically appropriate given that there was no possibility that the donor was brain dead prior to organ donation.”
In this study, the period from 1980 to 2015 was observed.
