Summary Report on the Crime of Live Organ Harvesting in China by the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) Summary Report on the Crime of Live Organ Harvesting in China by the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) Table of Contents Chapter 1: The Explosive Growth of China’s Organ Transplantation since 1999 13 I. The number of hospitals in China that perform liver transplants has increased 20 fold since the persecution of Falun Gong launched in 1999 13 II. Comparison of annual national liver transplant figures show that transplant surgeries have increased 180-fold since 1999 14 Chapter 2: Existence of a nationwide living organ bank of prisoners of conscience 14 Evidence I: Reverse matching – organs are waiting for patients. The average waiting time for an organ transplant is 1-2 weeks in China 15 1) Shanghai Changzheng Hospital Transplant Center states on its liver transplant application form that the average waiting time for a liver transplant is one week. 2) Oriental Transplant Center of Tianjin First Central Hospital 3) Replacement organs are easily found, and another surgery can be performed within one week 2. Audio recordings of investigations conducted by phone 1) “We have plenty of donors, so we can still select the ones that are young and good” 2) The waiting time for a donor is generally 2 to 3 days to a maximum of 10 days Evidence II: Killing on demand - the percentage of emergency transplant operations in China is as high as 26.6 percent 19 1. The percentage of emergency liver transplant surgeries is as high as 26.6 percent 2. 120 cases of emergency liver transplants within 3 years 3. Two kidney transplant surgeries were performed on the same patient within 48 hours 4.“Some patients would come at night, and we could do the operation over the same night. It's pretty common here.” Evidence III: Multiple spare organs for one transplant operation 20 1. One kidney transplant patient used eight spare kidneys 2. Another startling example promoted by state-run media is the story of Huang Jiefu performing a transplant operation with four spare livers; three of them must have been taken from living persons 3. Analysis 1) The first donor liver, the one originally prepared for the transplant, was wasted 2) The two spare donor livers from Chongqing and Guangzhou, because of the travel time required and the time before the organs would expire, could only have come from two living persons 1 3) The spare liver found in Xinjiang most likely was also taken from a living person 4) China operates a human organ bank of captivate prisoners that operates outside of China’s justice system 5) The organ bank of living persons is a nationwide system with a massive number of captives 6) Three spare livers means three lives were taken 7) The first spare liver that had been prepared in advance had been likely extracted from a living person Evidence IV: Many hospitals conduct multiple transplant operations simultaneously. Two hospitals completed 24 liver and kidney transplants within a single day ………22 1. Xinqiao Hospital of Third Military Medical University once performed 24 kidney transplant operations in one day 2. Tianjin First Central Hospital once performed 24 liver and kidney transplant operations in one day 3. The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University performed 19 kidney transplant operations in one day 4. Xiangya Hospital performed 17 transplant operations in one day 5. General Hospital of Jinan Military Region performed 16 kidney transplant operations in 24 hours 6. Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region found five matching livers at the same time and same place, and subsequently completed five liver extraction and transplant operations. Out of the five operations, one was an emergency liver transplant Evidence V: Organ harvesting suspected – warm ischemia time is either zero or exceedingly short ….29 1. What is warm ischemia time? 2. What is cold ischemia time? 3. What is cardiac death? 4. What is brain death? 5. Organ extraction from brain dead donors in mainland China is illegal 6. In summary,extremely short warm ischemia times indicate organ harvesting from living candidates 7. A “kidney transplant from a living donor” in China is “completely different” from the cadaveric kidney transplants conducted in Japan 8. Examples of research papers by mainland China physicians where zero or extremely short warm ischemia time is cited Evidence VI: Proof of organ harvesting found in a medical paper 34 Case analysis: 1) The donor was probably a living person 2) The donor was probably conscious and had spontaneous breathing 3) The organ donor was not brain dead or in a deep coma Conclusion: 1) This paper is an authentic description of how the doctors conducted a murder 2) The fact that they can write down the murder process and publish it on the Internet 2 shows that killing has become their routine work 3) What is more frightening is that the killing is not an isolated case Evidence VII: Falun Dafa practitioners are forced to have blood tests, which is powerful evidence for the existence of a living organ bank.............................................................................36 1. Nearly every Falun Gong practitioner has being forcibly subjected to blood tests while detained 2. Falun Gong practitioners are subjected to forcible blood tests in their homes Chapter 3: Intensive Organ Transplants Emerged after the CCP’S Large-Scale Organ Harvesting from Live Falun Gong Practitioners was Exposed in 2006 37 I. Working overtime for intensive organ transplants 37 II. Hospitals slash prices, even offering free transplants to increase sales of organ transplant operations 37 1. Jilin Heart Hospital offers sales promotion 2. Hunan People’s Hospital offers 20 free liver and kidney transplants Chapter 4: From 2006 onwards, the number of organ transplantshas steadily climbed. 39 I. The number of beds increase, bed turnover rates are high, and the amount of transplants are huge 39 1. The PLA 309 Hospital's gross income in 2010 from organ transplantation increased nearly 8 times in 5 years, and more beds were added in 2012 2. Tianjin First Central Hospital's number of liver transplants increases each year, the bednumber has increased to more than 500 beds, and the turnover rate reached 131.1 percent 3. At Shanghai Renji Hospital, the number of beds for transplant patients increased from 13 beds in 2004 to 110 beds in 2014 4. Organ Transplant Center of Sichuan People's Hospital had 8 beds in 2007, which increased to more than 100 beds in 2011 5. At the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital, the bed number increased from 742 to 1500 in 2015 II. The quantity of organ transplantation surgeries are huge, and the industry is busy the whole year 40 1. At Tianjin First Central Hospital, surgeons are so busy that they work overtime on weekends and over holidays 2. At Zhengzhou People’s Hospital there are kidney transplant surgeries every night 3. The average length of hospital stay for a kidney transplantation patient decreases in order to relieve the heavy workload of the kidney transplant division 4. At the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University of Henan, the number of kidney transplants continues to increase Chapter 5: Estimation of the Actual Scale of Transplantation 41 I. Estimation of transplantation quantity from bed number, bed occupancy rate, number of surgeons and surgery ability 43 1. The actual number of liver and kidney transplants at Tianjin First Central Hospital has exceeded 5,000 cases per year since 2006, and hit 8,000 at the highest point 2. The actual transplant quantity at the PLA No. 309 Hospital exceeded 4,000 every year since 2012 3 3. Gongyi Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Henan province set up a Kidney Transplant Center in 2001 II. Media reports vindicate the massive scale of transplants performed 45 1. China Economic Weekly: Peking University People’s Hospital once performed 4,000 liver and kidney transplants in one year 2. China Times: The No. 175 Hospital in Nanjing Military Region “performs at least 3000 kidney transplants per year" 3. KwongWahYitPoh: Wuhan Tongji Hospital performs thousands of kidney transplants per year III. CCP Authoritative Transplant Specialists Confirm that the Actual Number of Transplants far Exceeds Official Published Number 47 1. Wu Mengchao: The CCP’s quantity of liver transplants is No. 1 in the world 2. He Xiaoshun: “The number of liver transplants nationwide in 2000 is 10 times that of 1999, and by 2005, the number tripled since 2000.” 3. Huang Jiefu alone performed more than 500 transplants in 2012 IV. A surprising witness: German surgeon said one Chinese hospital conducted 2,000 transplants per year 49 V. The Testimony from Yang Guang 51 1. Internal data from the CCP’s Public Security Bureau: regional hospitals harvested organs from 500,000 Falun Gong Practitioners 2. Two affiliated hospitals of a medical university in a big city conduct 2,000-3,000 cases of organ transplants per year VI. The latest investigative phone recording of Politburo Standing Committee Member Zhang Gaoli confirms the CCP’s crimes of harvesting organs 52 1. Confirms Jiang Zemin gave the order to harvest organs from millions of living Falun Gong practitioners 2. Zhang Gaoli promised that he would “handle the rest of Falun Gong practitioners well” VII. Examination of China’s transplant volume 50 1. 96 Organ Harvesting Centers conduct on average 2000-3000 transplants every year 2. 50 regional liver and kidney transplantation centers suspected of conducting 400- 1,000 transplants per year 3. 408 military, police and class three A grade hospitals not accredited by the Ministry of Health to conduct transplant operations have conducted exceedingly large numbers of transplant operations 4. 153 small and medium transplant centers not accredited to conduct transplants may have conducted 3000-7000 transplants per year Chapter 6: The Claim that Organs are from Death Row Prisoners is a Lie 54 I.

  • Insights for Intra-Party Tensions?
    Hong Kong as a proxy battlefield Insights for Intra-Party tensions? Zhang Xiaoming 张晓明, the director of the State Council Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office 国务 院港澳办, was replaced a few days ago, as vice-director of the small leading group of the same name, by the current Minister of Public Security, Zhao Kezhi 赵克志. That said, it seems Hong Kong’s issues run deeper than just a few personnel appointments. Is the special administrative zone becoming a proxy battleground for opposing political forces inside the Party? The timeline and people involved suggest that parts of the ongoing crisis might have been made by design by outgoing political networks amid the anti-corruption campaign. From the selection of Carrie Lam 林郑月娥, the underpinnings of the Hong Kong and Macau affairs system, to the bid for the London Stock Exchange, there is more than meets the eye. The “Manchurian” Candidate and the Jiangpai From the beginning, the opinion was that Madame Lam would be a short-live replacement for Liang Zhenying 梁振英. Carrie Lam, who actually joined the protest – even for a brief moment – for universal suffrage back in 2014, stayed close to the negotiation with Beijing, unlike some of her counterparts who were refused entry in Shenzhen back in 2015. She then became one of the favorite faces of the administration, especially in late 2016, when Liang Zhenying1 announced he would not be running for re-election. Liang, a representative of the “old regime” – associated with both Zeng Qinghong 曾庆红2 and Zhang Dejiang 张德江, was creating issues leading to the deterioration of the situation in Hong Kong (i.e.

  • China's Afrika Beleid
    China in Afrika: ontwikkelingsland of grootmacht Een neoklassieke analyse van het Afrikabeleid van China tussen 1978-2002 - Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen - Masterthesis Politicologie Internationale Betrekkingen Nijmegen, 27 maart 2013 Ramona Schmetter, 3023249 Begeleider: Dr. Anna van der Vleuten Tweede lezer: Prof. Dr. Bertjan Verbeek Abstract China’s presence on the African continent goes back to the ancient times. China supported African countries during the Cold War mainly on a bilateral basis. In 2000, with the establishment of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), the character of the cooperation between China and African countries changed rapidly to a more multilateral kind. It is not clear what explains the shift from bilateral connections to extended multilateral cooperation. In this masterthesis I tried to offer an explanation for this change in Chinese foreign policy behaviour with the help of the neoclassical realist theory. China’s relative power has increased in the last two decades and while the perception of the China’s foreign policy executive (FPE) changed positively, other internal factors like the power position of the FPE remained relatively unchanged. In fact, this shows some anomalies for the expectations of neoclassical realism. Trefwoorden: Africa, China, foreign policy, Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), neoclassical realism. 2 Voorwoord in het Duits Ich bin keine Frau großer Worte, vorallem nicht schriftlich oder in einer fremden Sprache. Hiermit präsentiere ich Ihnen meine Masterarbeit, das Resultat meiner Bemühungen um sowohl fachkenntlich als auch sprachlich zu beweisen, was ich in den letzten Jahren gelernt habe.

  • Japan's Security Relations with China Since 1989
    Japan’s Security Relations with China since 1989 The Japanese–Chinese security relationship is one of the most important vari- ables in the formation of a new strategic environment in the Asia-Pacific region which has not only regional but also global implications. The book investigates how and why since the 1990s China has turned in the Japanese perception from a benign neighbour to an ominous challenge, with implications not only for Japan’s security, but also its economy, role in Asia and identity as the first devel- oped Asian nation. Japan’s reaction to this challenge has been a policy of engagement, which consists of political and economic enmeshment of China, hedged by political and military power balancing. The unique approach of this book is the use of an extended security concept to analyse this policy, which allows a better and more systematic understanding of its many inherent contradictions and conflicting dynamics, including the centrifugal forces arising from the Japan–China–US triangular relationship. Many contradictions of Japan’s engagement policy arise from the overlap of military and political power-balancing tools which are part of containment as well as of engagement, a reality which is downplayed by Japan but not ignored by China. The complex nature of engagement explains the recent reinforcement of Japan’s security cooperation with the US and Tokyo’s efforts to increase the security dialogues with countries neighbouring China, such as Vietnam, Myanmar and the five Central Asian countries. The book raises the crucial question of whether Japan’s political leadership, which is still preoccupied with finding a new political constellation and with overcoming a deep economic crisis, is able to handle such a complex policy in the face of an increasingly assertive China and a US alliance partner with strong swings between engaging and containing China’s power.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: the ANTI-CONFUCIAN CAMPAIGN
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE ANTI-CONFUCIAN CAMPAIGN DURING THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION, AUGUST 1966-JANUARY 1967 Zehao Zhou, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed By: Professor James Gao, Department of History This dissertation examines the attacks on the Three Kong Sites (Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, Confucius Cemetery) in Confucius’s birthplace Qufu, Shandong Province at the start of the Cultural Revolution. During the height of the campaign against the Four Olds in August 1966, Qufu’s local Red Guards attempted to raid the Three Kong Sites but failed. In November 1966, Beijing Red Guards came to Qufu and succeeded in attacking the Three Kong Sites and leveling Confucius’s tomb. In January 1967, Qufu peasants thoroughly plundered the Confucius Cemetery for buried treasures. This case study takes into consideration all related participants and circumstances and explores the complicated events that interwove dictatorship with anarchy, physical violence with ideological abuse, party conspiracy with mass mobilization, cultural destruction with revolutionary indo ctrination, ideological vandalism with acquisitive vandalism, and state violence with popular violence. This study argues that the violence against the Three Kong Sites was not a typical episode of the campaign against the Four Olds with outside Red Guards as the principal actors but a complex process involving multiple players, intraparty strife, Red Guard factionalism, bureaucratic plight, peasant opportunism, social ecology, and ever- evolving state-society relations. This study also maintains that Qufu locals’ initial protection of the Three Kong Sites and resistance to the Red Guards were driven more by their bureaucratic obligations and self-interest rather than by their pride in their cultural heritage.

  • Inventory of Environmental Work in China
    INVENTORY OF ENVIRONMENTAL WORK IN CHINA In this fifth issue of the China Environment Series, the Inventory of Environmental Work in China has been updated and we made extra effort to add many new groups, especially in the Chinese organization section. To better highlight the growing number of U.S. universities and professional associations active in China we have created a separate section. In the past inventories we have gathered information from U.S. government agencies; from this year forward we will be inventorying the work done by other governments as well. This inventory aims to paint a clearer picture of the patterns of aid and investment in environmental protection and energy-efficiency projects in the People’s Republic of China. We highlight a total of 118 organizations and agencies in this inventory and provide information on 359 projects. The five categories of the inventory are listed below: Part I (p. 138): United States Government Activities (15 agencies/organizations, 103 projects) Part II (p. 163): U.S. and International NGO Activities (33 organizations, 91 projects) Part III (p. 190): U.S. Universities and Professional Association Activities (9 institutions, 27 projects) Part IV (p. 196): Chinese and Hong Kong NGO and GONGO Activities (50 organizations, 61 projects) Part V (p. 212): Bilateral Government Activities (11 agencies/organizations, 77 projects) Since we have expanded the inventory, even more people than last year contributed to the creation of this inventory. We are grateful to all of those in U.S. government agencies, international and Chinese nongovernmental organizations, universities, as well as representatives in foreign embassies who generously gave their time to compile and summarize the information their organizations and agencies undertake in China.
