China’s Forced Organ Harvesting Must Be Stopped

By Callista L. Gingrich April 14, 2023Updated: April 16, 2023

On March 27, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act of 2023 with overwhelming bipartisan support.

The bill, authored by Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), targets the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) state-sponsored forced organ harvesting by imposing sanctions or severe criminal penalties on individuals who fund, sponsor, or facilitate this inhumane practice. As The Epoch Times reported, the passage of this legislation in the House, which received 413 votes, marks “the first non-symbolic legislative measure in the nation to counter the atrocity.” It now heads to the Senate.

In recent years, appalling reports, testimonies, and evidence have emerged that reveal the CCP’s horrific practice of forced organ harvesting.

In 2000, communist China’s organ transplant industry began to dramatically grow, eventually reducing wait times for a procedure down to weeks or days. By comparison, patients in most developed countries wait months or years for a procedure. Over the years, CCP officials have claimed that their massive source of organ supply comes from a “voluntary organ donation system” or from death row prisoners.

But none of these apparent explanations expose the cruel realities of the CCP’s forced organ harvesting industry................To Read More....

Rep. Smith: 'Xi Jinping and CCP Murder 60,000-100,000 Young People Every Year to Steal Their Organs

Michael W. Chapman | March 30, 2023  

The U.S. House voted overwhelmingly (413-2) on March 27 to pass legislation that would penalize persons involved in forced organ trafficking, a gruesome crime that occurs particularly in Communist China where between 60,000 and 100,000 young people are killed every year to steal their organs.  These "crimes against humanity" are committed with the full knowledge and sanction of the Communist regime, according to House Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) and numerous human rights activists who have studied the topic.  "Every year under General Secretary Xi Jinping and his Chinese Communist Party, between 60,000 and 100,000 young victims, average age 28, are murdered in cold blood to steal their organs," said Rep. Smith, speaking Monday on the House floor. "These crimes against humanity are unimaginably cruel," he said. "Ethnic groups targeted for this mass harvesting include Uyghurs who suffer from Xi Jinping’s ongoing genocide and the Falun Gong, whose exercise practices and exceptional good health make their organs highly desirable."...............To Read More.....

Chinese Regime Killed Falun Gong Adherent for His Liver, Witness Says

 

By Eva Fu June 28, 2022

A former Japanese criminal gang member says he was a witness of China’s live organ trade, having seen an anesthetized Falun Gong adherent—with tendons cut to prevent his flight—shortly before the man was placed on an operating table to have his liver carved out. That was in August 2008, when Ushio Sugawara, now 58, was still a member of the Sixth Yamaguchi-gumi—Japan’s largest crime syndicate. He left the gang in 2015 and is now an economic commentator in Japan.

His friend’s brother was desperate for a new liver to sustain his life. With strict regulations, high costs, and long waiting times in the United States and France—two of the few countries offering liver transplant surgeries at the time—the struggling patient turned to what appeared to be his only alternative: At the time, Beijing’s General Hospital of the Armed Police Forces, a state-run military hospital, had risen to become a national leader in liver transplant surgery...............To Read More...

 

China’s monstrous organ harvesting practices

May 15, 2022 By Andrea Widburg

One of China’s booming industries is providing organs for transplants into Westerners. According to credible testimony before the House Human Rights Commission, though, it doesn’t get those organs through legitimate donations from people who have died through Acts of God. Instead, China is executing healthy young political dissidents and Uighurs in its thousands of concentration camps to provide organs for this market.

A country’s moral system is broken when physicians, rather than abiding by the Hippocratic oath to “first do no harm,” use their medical expertise to engage in grotesque experiments on people or, even worse, to kill them for profit. Dr. Mengele famously, and cruelly, experimented with twins, dwarfs, and other people who satisfied his twisted curiosity. Other Nazi doctors used concentration camp inmates to do experiments with freezing and cooking people to death, causing lathyrism (a deadly neurological disease caused by a diet only of chickpeas), seeing what would happen to pregnant women if their legs were tied together during labor, and other sadistic ideas even beyond imagination.............To Read More....

The Movie Chinese Communists Hate the Most?

January 9, 2022  By Janet Levy 

Some films are chilling because their fiction penetrates the agonizing core of reality.  The soon to be released Unsilenced, from award-winning Chinese-Canadian filmmaker Leon Lee, is a prime example.  It brings into sharp focus the oppression unleashed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on Falun Gong, a movement that emphasizes ethical conduct, qigong exercises, and meditation.  Fearing that Falun Gong would overtake it in popularity, the party has since 1999 been persecuting practitioners with arrest, torture, forced labor, menticide, and execution.  But an underground resistance has established itself, led by ordinary Falun Gong practitioners pushed by extraordinary circumstances into heroic acts.

The film's lead character, Wang (played by Ting Wu), is based on Wang Weiyu, a survivor of China's prisons and labor camps.  Wang and his friends pay a heavy price for fighting back.  But with the help of journalist Daniel Davis (played by Sam Trammell), they succeed in getting the word out on the plight of the Falun Gong.  Leading the crackdown against them is the sadistic Secretary Yang (played by Tzu-Chiang Wang).

Although Lee has been living in Canada since 2006, he is no stranger to Falun Gong or the CCP's atrocities.  His documentary Human Harvest (2014) exposed China's demonic removal and sale of organs from prisoners and inmates at labor camps.  Many of these are Falun Gong practitioners.  The documentary was broadcast in more than 25 countries and won the Peabody Award..........To Read More....
