Summary: This chapter explores how China was able to take the lead in global transplants using reversed tissue typing. To attain the number of organ transplants publicized officially, as many as 100,000 donors may be necessary for tissue typing – essentially, a huge live organ reservoir. That number is not compatible with the argument that death-row prisoners served as the source of organs. Falun Gong practitioners (and to a lesser extent Uyghurs and Tibetans) secretly detained in camps are the main plausible source. In the current conditions of an information blackout, it is hard to obtain solid evidence of these camps, yet Falun Gong practitioners detained in prisons, labor camps, detention centers, and at home have been forced to have blood drawn on a large scale, which indirectly proves the existence of live organ reservoir for tissue typing.
I. The massive number of “urgent transplants” indicates that China is killing people based on demand
Urgent liver transplants refer to patients with serious liver problem and on the verge of death. Usually they cannot survive more than 72 hours without immediate transplant surgery. Due to the difficulty of urgent tissue typing, it is extremely difficult to perform an urgent liver transplant in other countries since the waiting time for a donor is too long. However, the Annual Report on China Liver Transplant Registration, 2006[1], collected data from April 6, 2005–Dec. 31, 2006. Among the 8,486 cases of liver transplant in the 29 transplant centers, 1150 cases were urgent liver transplants. In Changzheng Hospital, during the three years prior to April 2006, it claims: “In the last three years, our hospital has treated 120 patients with severe liver problems through urgent liver transplants.[2]”
Such a large number of urgent liver transplants can only be explained by killing on demand. If judiciary procedures are followed to execute those who are sentenced to death, such as the confirmation of the Supreme Court and the specific time for execution, death-row prisoners can only rarely meet the 72-hour timeframe of urgent liver transplants.
Two surgeons, Fu Zhiren and Ma Jun from the Second Military Medical University-Affiliated Shanghai Changzheng Hospital’s Organ Transplant Department, mentioned in an article titled Prognostic Effects and Treatment of Emergency Liver Transplantation for Severe Hepatitis that they performed 120 cases of emergency liver transplants in the 3-years pan from 2003 to 2006. The organ recipients were severe hepatitis patients, and their average survival time after admission into hospital was three days. They claimed: “Only emergency liver transplant procedures could be performed, with the shortest time between admission and surgery being only four hours.”[3] We must conclude that a live organ donor bank exists near this hospital.
Zheng Shusen, from the hepatopancreatobiliary surgery department (a key laboratory under the Ministry of Health for multiple organ transplantation research) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, mentioned in a research paper that from January 2000 to December 2004, the hospital performed 46 emergency liver transplant operations. All of the patients underwent orthotopic liver transplant operations within 72 hours of being admitted to the hospital.[4]
Our investigation also found that the average waiting time for liver transplant elective operations was 1–4 weeks. That is, there is hardly any possibility that patients will die due to the lack of organs.[5]
The liver transplant registration system only records part of the liver transplant statistics and only collected the statistics for 8,486 cases of liver transplants. According to Huang Jiefu’s report, 10,555 cases of liver transplants have been performed in China during the same period of time.[6] Therefore the number of urgent liver transplants could be larger still.

II. Extremely short waiting time suggests the existence of a huge live organ reservoir in china
It is well-known that the waiting time for organs in China is short by comparison with other countries. From 2003 to 2005, approximately 2,000 organ tourists went to China for organ transplants. An article in Phoenix Weekly from 2006 claims that “based on incomplete statistics, during the last three years, over 3,000 Koreans went to China for organ transplants and over 1,000 patients from other countries and regions [went to China] each year.”[7]
The largest organ transplant center in Asia, Oriental Organ Transplant Center in Tianjin First Hospital, shows on its website that in 2005, 647 cases of liver transplant were performed and the average waiting time is only two weeks. The website was later removed but the cached pages can be found on the Internet[8].
Figure 3.2 Statistics of the Oriental Organ Transplant Center show the waiting time is two weeks.
Yunnan Hospital of Nephropathy claims on its website that “it is guaranteed to find healthy kidneys in the shortest time possible” and “to provide donor organs with the shortest cold/warm ischemia time”;“(we have) organ transplant operations every week”; “(we are) the only transplant hospital in the country that matches donors to recipients”; “as long as the surgeons agree to perform a renal transplant, (we could) assure you a successful transplant”; “if not successful, we will repeat the transplant operation until it becomes successful…” It is well known that Chinese hospitals are eager to make a sale, but the fact is that such guarantees are only possible when there is a large living renal source bank available on demand.[9]
WOIPFG conducted phone investigations of over 1,000 doctors who perform organ transplants in 30 provinces of mainland China during March and December in 2014. The investigation revealed that almost all the hospitals capable of organ transplants were still aggressively expanding their business and commonly expressed that they had sufficient young, healthy donors providing live, high-quality organs. Many doctors promised that they could obtain a matched organ within one to four weeks[10].
Table 3.2 Extremely Short Wait Time for Organ Transplant
Hospital |
Wait Time |
1.First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University Transplant Research Institute |
Liver transplants only takes a month and never longer than two months. Kidney transplants take a week and never longer than one month to find a HLA-matched donor. Although all donors are selected through strict examinations, the surgery will be canceled if an abnormality is found in the donor. The transplant center is responsible for selecting new donors for such patients and treats them as a priority and conduct a transplant again within a week.[11] |

III. Many hospitals conduct multiple transplant operations within a single day indicating the existence of large, living organ pools
To conduct dozens of kidney and liver transplant operations on the same day requires having many executed prisoner donors with matching tissue typed organs. However, this is legally difficult to arrange, suggesting instead that there is a large number of living donor banks, with blood types, and leukocyte HLA histocompatibility antigens types all tested in advance.

IV. Case Study: One transplantation operation employed multiple standby donor organs, with two spare living liver donors, revealing the existence of living donor pools for organs and a sophisticated underground operating system
Tan Jianming, the director of Shanghai Organ Transplant Medical Center Clinic at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, personally performed more than 4,200 kidney transplants.[74] In 2003 Tan Jianming at Shanghai First People's Hospital did a kidney transplant for a patient. In the next two weeks, they tried to do blood and other matching tests from four kidneys with the patient. Due to the patient's antibody response, no matching kidney was found, and four kidneys were taken away. The patient then returned to his own country, and came back to the hospital after about two months. The hospital used four kidneys to do similar tests when eighth kidney turned out to match, and smooth completion of the transplant was finished. Dr. Tan told the organ recipient that the eighth kidney came from a convict.[75]
According to reports on websites www.wlmqwb.com and www.sina.com.cn, in the afternoon of Sept. 28, 2005, while accompanying Luo Gan, the then-Secretary of the CCP’s Central Politics and Law Committee, in attendance of the 50th anniversary celebration for the establishment of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, the then-Vice Minister of Health Huang Jiefu demonstrated a transplant operation at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University. Huang used two living persons as spare livers for his operation.
After Huang Jiefu opened the abdominal cavity of a liver cancer patient named Yao Shufa, he discovered that his liver happened to meet the criteria for an autologous liver transplant, which he had dreamt about performing. He then instructed the others to suture the incision, and immediately contacted Sun Yat-Sen University of Medicine First Affiliated Hospital in Guangzhou City and the Third Medical University’s Southwest Liver Medical Center in Chongqing City, requesting them to provide a spare liver each, in case the autologous liver transplant failure. According to “China Nurse”, matching livers were found in Gaungzhou and Chongqing several hours after the request on Sept. 28: “At 6:30 pm on Sept. 29, a matching liver arrived from Chongqing! Virtually at the same time, three medical personnel from Guangzhou the Third (Affiliated) Sun Yat-Sen Hospital also arrived with another matching liver and some bypass devices.”[76] Huang Jiefu’s operation lasted from 7 pm on Sept. 29 to 10 am on Sept. 30, after 24 hours of observation, Huang announced the operation was successful; the spare livers were no longer needed. In 2006, PRC’s Ministry of Health released "Specifications for technical management of liver transplantations" which requires that liver cold ischemic time should be less than 15 hours, therefore, the two spare livers brought from Chongqing and Guangzhou could only be from two living persons. Otherwise, even just counting the 40 hours after the procedure to concluding if autologous transplants has succeeded, a liver cut in advance should have failed.[77].
Typically, death-row executions are governed by strict requirements. Personnel from the courts and Prosecutor's offices must be present, the execution can only be performed after the prisoner is positively identified, check-ups are required also after the execution. In Huang Jiefu’s operation, Chongqing and Guangzhou hospital personnel were able to bring spare livers on airplanes, strongly suggesting that the living persons (donors) are special prisoners outside the judicial system.
V. The large number of expedited transplantations in 2006 proves the existence of a large pool of living donors
WOIPFG’s investigation has confirmed that around Mar. 9, 2006, when the Sujiatun operation was exposed, there was a period of surprise, followed by confusion, followed by expedited transplantation procedures. Many hospitals throughout the country suddenly had a lot of organs and medical personnel working overtime to catch up on organ transplants.
For example, some hospitals in the northeast part of China were surveyed in early March and said they had received instructions to temporarily suspend organ transplant surgeries. But after less than 20 days, on March 27, the Ministry of Health issued: “the provisional regulations on human organ transplant technology and clinical application management” to be implemented on July 1.[78] After that, hospitals and major transplant centers around the country appeared to have a clearance sale, restoring transplantation procedures while the number of operations increased significantly. Many hospitals across the country indicated that in April or May, there would be abundant organ donors and stated that after that it would be very difficult to get donors. At that time, WOIPFG’s investigations covered 23 provinces and autonomous regions, which meant that the Communist authorities expedited its actions in eradicating Falun Gong practitioners (who were used as the main organ donor pool) in large numbers. The orders for this action came from the Party.
The Hunan People's Hospital even launched a commercial ad[79] to give out “20 cases of free organ transplantations” (10 liver transplantations and 10 kidney transplantations), which indicated that the organs would be destroyed if not used, and they might as well exploit the situation by using it as an advertising opportunity(see the website snapshot below).
Figure 3.3 Hunan People's Hospital’s ad to give out “20 free organ transplant operations”
Delin Guan, Director of Urological Center and Vice President of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, Deputy Director of Beijing Organ Transplantation Center, was appointed to Yun Nan Kidney Hospital as a high-salaried Honorary President. In addition, he also conducted surgeries in the First Affiliated Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University. Essentially Delin goes to any place where donor kidneys can be found.[80] The following is the conversation between him and a WOIPFG investigator on May 26, 2006:
Investigator: which place can you have more donor kidneys?
Delin Guan: here, here, I did 8 surgeries yesterday!.......I will do it next week.
Investigator: Are the donors all healthy and young?
Delin Guan: of course, they are all healthy, we had done the medical tests for several donors.
Doctors in Shandong QianfoshanHospital said that Falun Gong donors in April 2006 would be available.[81] Doctors in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College said that there was a group of donors in middle to late April and that Falun Gong practitioners are healthier, the kidneys were all from young people aged 20–30, without infectious diseases, AIDS, or syphilis.[82] The May 2006 investigation also showed that a couple of months previous, Li Honghui from the Kidney Transplant Center at Yuquan Hospital, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, was transferred to Chengdu, Sichuan, where there were more kidney donors, to assist the hospital for kidney transplantation. Director Xu Yahong at the hospital acknowledged that in May there were a lot of donors. Both men acknowledged using Falun Gong practitioners as donors.[83]
Table 3.4 Examples of expedited transplantations
Hospital |
Expedited transplant example |
Hunan Provincial People's Hospital |
People's Hospital of Hunan province in 2006 "double program" (ten free liver transplantations, ten free kidney transplantation).[84] |
DongguanCity Tai Ping People's Hospital |
Working overtime in the first three months of 2006; 300 cases of renal transplantations.[85] (By comparison, there were 360, 260, and 160 cases in 2003–2005). |
Guangdong, Huizhou Union Hospital of Southern Medical University |
There were many donors on April 11 and 12, 2006.[86] |
West China Hospital of Sichuan University |
Around May 2006, nurses at the West China Hospital said there were now sufficient organs: "Today we have done six kidney transplants.” |
Shaanxi Armed Police Corps Hospital |
In 2006, a doctor said, “If you wanted to do it, it would be this Thursday. We would have a large number of donors on Thursday, on in the month of April. We will have them this week and next week and the week after the next week.”[87] |
Guangxi 181 Hospital |
In early May 2006 to the end of June, “now we have donors. … Get over here now, (we can do) both liver and kidney transplantations at the same time.”[88] |
Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Region Dept. of Urology (kidney transplant) |
Doctors said that kidney resources were rich. There would be live donors next Monday (April 11, 2006) aged 25-30.[89] |
First Affiliated Hospital, First Military Medical University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (Guangzhou South Hospital) |
(Liver transplants): “Get here as soon as possible, we did it on Saturday. April 2006, there are many donors, several groups next week. … We do close to 100 cases a year. Come as soon as possible, Saturday, and Sunday would be all fine.”[90] |
3. What does the "organ" actually mean?
Regarding the donors mentioned by the doctors in the investigation, we used to consider them to be simply organ donors, like many readers. Yet while writing this report, prompted by Huang Jiefu’s operation in 2005 in Xinjiang, where he used two living persons as spare donors for liver transplantation while he conducted autologous liver transplantation, we reconsidered. The state media reported them all as spare livers, and considering the fact that they usually wouldn’t know when the patients arrived and the fact that the patients must be matched with the (tissue/blood) types, we believe here that the “donors” mentioned by most hospital doctors were in fact, living human beings stationed nearby. They could be killed at any time for their organs according to the results from the blood/tissue type matching with the patients.
VI. Falun Dafa practitioners are forced to have blood tests, which suggests the existence of a living organ bank
It is very difficult for us to obtain more evidence from the camps where Falun Gong practitioners are being held because of the Chinese regime’s information censorship. However, blood tests done on Falun Gong practitioners, whether they are locked up in jails, labor camps, detention centers, or even at their own homes, indirectly confirm that the Chinese regime is building a database based on reverse organ matching.
1. A majority of Falun Gong practitioners in detention have been forcibly subjected to blood tests
In addition to extensive physical and mental abuse, Falun Gong practitioners from all over China are being forcibly subjected to blood tests while they are being detained. A large number of Falun Gong practitioners, who are locked up in jails, labor camps, and detention centers, have suffered different abuses. Some were beaten, some were injured, others have become crippled or passed away; according to Minghui.org, up to August 3, 2015 a total of 3,870 deaths have been confirmed for practitioners in detention.[91] They have all been subjected to blood tests, and yet they do not know the results of the blood test. If they are really sick, they cannot get medical treatment. Neither can they post bail to seek medical treatment. All of these different treatments are common practices throughout China. Other than Tibetans, Uyghurs and some House Christians, none of the other detainees or inmates receives this systematic treatment.
2. Falun Gong practitioners are subjected to forced blood tests in their homes
Since April 2014[92], there have been cases of officials from the public security bureau and police breaking into the homes of Falun Gong practitioners and forcing them to have blood tests (and in some cases, DNA cheek swabs) in Guizhou, Liaoning, Hunan, Hubei, and Beijing. When they couldn’t find Falun Gong practitioners, they forcibly withdraw blood from their relatives. Many of these cases took place in Guizhou and Liaoning, where some police said they were simply carrying out orders from their superiors.[93] In Dandong, Liaoning Province, alone, there are a total of 16 Falun Gong practitioners, who have been forced by the local police to have their blood drawn.[94]
