China now performs the most organ transplants in the world, yet has few voluntary donors. While the regime has admitted to harvesting organs from death row prisoners, they account for a tiny fraction of transplants performed in the country.
The Red Cross of China has not yet set up an organ donation system, contrary to Beijing’s claims that all transplants in China now involve willing donors.
For more than 15 years, Chinese military hospitals across China have kept a closely guarded secret. Doctors at private hospitals know about it, and even participate. But no one dares reveal it to the public.
Chinese authorities may be changing their approach to reports of organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience, now attempting to deny the evidence rather than simply ignore it.
Chinese transplant officials have given a staunch defense of the transplant system not a week after the publication of a book showing evidence of mass slaughter for organs.
