Chapter Nine：The CCP's History of Killing is Against Human Nature and Conscience

Summary: We've reviewed the CCP’s history of killing that includes live organ harvesting. The CCP harvested organs from both death row inmates and other people in the past for the sole purpose of maintaining its rule or for the health of its high-ranking officials. Falun Dafa practitioners have their organs harvested on a large scale, because the suppression provides the CCP with a larger number of higher-quality and healthier organs from a group of “donors”, whose human rights are not protected. The CCP has always resorted to the practice of genocide, which includes destruction of reputation and physical elimination, in its political campaigns. As a result, 60 to 80 million people have been killed. That is why we concluded that this genocidal massacre--live harvesting of Falun Dafa practitioners’ organs that is happening today--is a scourge unprecedented on earth, an evitable outgrowth of the CCP’s evil cult nature. And such tragedy may happen to others anytime in the future. 

The CCP has never stopped slaughtering Chinese people since it came to power on October 1, 1949. This time,the massacre primarily by harvesting organs has occurred in the context of the CCP’s history of killing, political culture and social environment. It is estimated that half of the Chinese population have been persecuted by the CCP, and approximately 60 to 80 million people died from unnatural causes, exceeding the total deaths in both world wars.

Those who do not know about the CCP may not understand why the CCP would start using the entire state apparatus to slaughter Falun Dafa practitioners on such a large scale after Jiang Zemin gave orders. This is in fact determined by the CCP’s cult nature. Killing is one of the CCP’s means of maintaining its rule, and it uses violence to terrorize people into submission. So there is no rule to follow as who should or should not be killed. We suggest that everyone read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, to learn about the CCP’s true nature. 

A brief review of the CCP’s killing record of its various political campaigns during its 65-year rule will help provide context to the CCP’s massacre of harvesting organs from living Falun Dafa practitioners.

I. The CCP’s history of live organ harvesting

1. Harvesting a kidney from political prisoner Zhong Haiyuan for the child of a high-ranking official

In 1975, Zhong Haiyuan, a teacher at Jingfengshan Elementary School in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, was held in custody for supporting Li Jiulian, a so-called reactionary. She was designated a reactionary too and given a death sentence, as she pleaded not guilty and wrote “Down with Hua Guofeng!” on the walls of her prison cell. On April30, 1978, she was paraded on the streets, hands tied behind her back and then executed. The executioner shot her on the right side of her back on purpose instead of her heart area, so that she would not die immediately. The medical staff, who had been waiting aside, rushed to her body, took it inside a military vehicle and excised her kidney on a make-shift operating table. The organ was quickly transplanted into the child of a high-ranking official, who had been waiting for the operation at No.92 Field Hospital in Nanchang City.

2. The 1984 Provisional Regulations on harvesting organs from death row inmates issued by six ministries

On October 9, 1984, the CCP’s Supreme People’s Court, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security, the Justice Ministry and the Health Ministry jointly issued the Provisional Regulations on Using the Corpses and Organs of Death Row Inmates[793]. They gave the green light to live organ harvesting.  

According to Soho Watch, harvesting organs from healthy young death row inmates by abusing the principle of voluntary donations has long been an unspoken rule in China’s judicial administrations[794]. In 1998, up to 3,700 kidney transplants were performed, which in itself was proof of the CCP’s wanton harvesting of live organs of death row inmates.

3. Widespread indiscriminate killing of death row inmates

According to China’s traditions, the deceased should be respected, and the dead body should be kept in its entirety,So the corpse was rarely insulted, and this is also the main cultural reason that few Chinese are willing to donate their bodies or organs. Since the CCP believes in atheism, it takes organs not only from death row inmates but also from those who are not guilty or whose crimes are not punishable by death.

Recently there are two well-known cases on the Internet. One is the Nie Shubin case, in which Nie was sentenced to death for rape when there was not sufficient evidence. It was believed that he was given a death sentence just because his organs matched well with those of a CCP high ranking official. Later the darkness was lifted only when the real perpetrator, Wang Shujin, emerged. However, the judicial administration in Hebei Province refused to confirm the validity of the detailed confession by Wang Shujin and refused to rectify Nie’s case. The prosecutor’s defense for the real perpetrator of the Nie case became a mockery of the justice system[795].

The second major case is that of Xia Junfeng, a street vendor. He killed in self-defense when city inspectors were beating him up and, as a result, he was given a death sentence. All well-known jurists and lawyers in China believed that Xia did not deserve to die for his crime. According to the Beijing News (Xin Jing), a local newspaper, when Zhang Jing, Xia’s wife, received what Xia had left her from the prison, she found in the package the clothes Xia wore when he met his family for the last time on September 25. She murmured to herself, “What was he wearing when he left?” and then she wept over the package[796].

Like that of Nie’s case, Xia’s execution date was issued months before his actual execution date, which was believed to be waiting for an organ buyer and the operation.

4. Those whose organs have been taken also include vulnerable groups such as prisoners and ethnic minority dissidents

In November 2013, Phoenix Weekly, a Hong Kong magazine, published a report entitled “The Veiled Reality of the Body Organs Trade in China”. It stated, “In the past decade, travel to China for organ transplant has become increasingly popular, and there have been frequent newspaper reports about incredibly efficient transplant operations.” To have transplant surgeries in China, organs seem to be available all the time; there is no waiting time; and matching procedures are done quickly. It is as easy to have a kidney transplant as to buy a pig kidney. “Based on the analysis of the unusual phenomena on China’s organ market, international medical professionals concluded that there must be large underground organ banks in China, even banks for organs harvested live. In other words, there must be organ suppliers whose blood has been tested and the blood types filed beforehand and who would be taken to the ‘hospitals’ (i.e. slaughterhouses) on demand. That is the only way to guarantee the forever availability of organs that can be supplied on extremely short notice.”

The article explicitly stated, “Falun Gong practitioners who have no legal protection in China, prisoners in China’s labor camps, social refugees and abducted women and children are all probable targets of this underground organ trade organization.[797]”

However, as the large amount of evidence in our report indicated, the CCP’s harvesting of live Falun Dafa practitioners’ organs is not an act of a small number of people, who are engaged in an illegal organ trade; rather, it is a state-sanctioned program ordered by Jiang Zemin. Moreover, it is impossible for individuals to trade organs of vulnerable groups on a large scale.

II. The CCP’s Various Murderous Political Campaigns were Acts of Genocide

From a brief review of all the CCP’s previous political movements after it established its regime, we can see that the CCP’s actions are wanton acts against humanity, because during every political campaign, it employed a “genocidal” policy.

1. “Suppression of the Counter-Revolutionaries and Land Reform”

After the CCP took power in 1949, in March 1950, it issued the Orders to Strictly Suppress the Counter-revolutionary Elements, which is historically known as the “suppression of the counter-revolutionaries.”

The CCP even stipulated a killing ratio. Mao instructed in a CCP internal document that “in rural areas, the number of counter-revolutionaries killed should exceed 1/1000 of the total population…in the cities, it should be less than 1/1000 in general.” 

At the end of 1952, the CCP officially published the number of executed “counter-revolutionary elements” as exceeding2.4 million. From county magistrates to local jiazhangs(leaders of 10-family units in rural China), the actual number of local administrators, public servants and teachers from the former Nationalist Party government and landowners, who perished in this movement, was at least 5 million.

2. The “Three-Anti Campaign”, “Five-Anti Campaign” and “Elimination of the Counterrevolutionaries”

The “Three-Anti Campaign” began in December 1951, and the “Five-Anti Campaign” began in January 1952. According to Facts of the Political Campaigns after the Founding of the People’s Republic of China, during the “Three-Anti Campaign” and “Five-Anti Campaign,” more than 323,100 people were arrested and over 280 committed suicide or disappeared. In the subsequent “Elimination of the Counterrevolutionaries” movement, over 21,300 people were executed, and over 4,300 committed suicide or disappeared.

3. The “Cultural Revolution”

The Cultural Revolution was formally launched on May 16, 1966, and lasted until 1976. This period has been called the “Ten-Year Catastrophe”. Facts of the Political Campaigns after the Founding of the People’s Republic of China reported that, “over 4.2 million people were detained and investigated; over 1,728,000 people died of unnatural causes; over 135,000 people were labeled as counter-revolutionaries and executed; over 237,000 people were killed and over 7.03 million were disabled in armed attacks; and 71,200 families were entirely destroyed.” Statistics compiled from county annals by experts show that 7.73 million people died of unnatural causes during the Cultural Revolution. According to Japanese media reports, the statistical data collected on the orders of the CCP’s Central Committee confirmed that the Cultural Revolution brought disasters to 600 million Chinese people.

4. “The June Fourth Massacre”

From the evening of June 3 to the early morning of June 4, 1989, the CCP ordered its troops to open fire on the peacefully demonstrating citizens and students on Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. The CCP’s military even dispatched tanks to chase the students to compel them to leave the square, which is known as the “June 4th Massacre” or “Tiananmen Square Massacre.”

Till this day, the CCP still hasn’t released information on how many people died during the “Tiananmen Square Massacre.” On December 12, 1996, the US newspaper Tennessee Tribune’s editorial quoted the International Red Cross’s estimates that “on the night of June 4, 1989, at least 3,700 people were killed.”

On the eve of June 4, 2014, a confidential file at the White House was exposed. It was revealed that through its informant within the CCP’s martial law troops, the U.S. government learned that the CCP’s own internal assessment was about 40,000 casualties, including 10,454 people killed, during the “Tiananmen Square Massacre.”

5. “The Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners”

This genocidal persecution against Falun Gong practitioners, which is still ongoing, is the largest-scale persecution in human history. Hundreds of millions of people’s freedom of faith is suppressed, and hundreds of thousands are illegally detained. Furthermore, the evil crime of organ harvesting, which is unprecedented on this planet, are still taking place.
