Preface

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a massive military health system including the PLA General Hospital, the affiliated hospitals of all Military Medical Universities, general hospitals of all military regions and various branches of the military. Organ transplantation has been one of the most active fields at the CCP’s military hospitals since 1999.

In December 2008, Zhang Yanling, director of the Health Division of PLA’s General Logistics Department, stated on Xinhua News Network, “In 1978, there were only three hospitals in the entire People’s Liberation Army capable of performing kidney transplants. Now, there are forty hospitals capable of performing liver, kidney, heart, lung and multi-organ combined transplants, which is one quarter of national total.” [1]

In September 2014, Bai Shuzhong, director of the Health Division PLA’s General Logistics Department, told WOIPFG investigator, “Back then it was Chairman Jiang ...who gave an instruction, saying carrying out such things, namely organ transplant. ... Following Chairman Jiang’s instruction, we all did a lot of anti-Falun Gong work. [2]”

In 2002，the Organ Transplant Center was established in 2002. In 2006 and 2011, it was upgraded to All-Army Organ Transplant Center, All-Army Organ Transplant Institute, respectively[3]. The data center of the Scientific Registry for Kidney Transplantation (CSRKT, www.csrkt.org), launched by the Ministry of Health in August 2008, is hosted by the All-Army Transplant Center of the PLA No.309 Hospital[4]. In 2012, the transplant center expanded by nearly 400 beds, with an estimated annual liver and kidney transplant volume of over 4,000 cases[5]. As of 2013, the hospital had grown from a small unit of a dozen people to a large transplant team of more than 300 people[6].

Ⅰ. Hospital Overview

The 309th Hospitalof People’s Liberation Army of China was founded in 1958 and incorporated into PLA General Hospital in 2004. It was renamed as the General Hospital of PLA General Staff Department in 2009 and renamed again as the 8th Medical Center of the General Hospital of People’s Liberation Army of China, an affiliate of PLA General Hospital[7].

PLA No.309 Hospital was one of the first tertiary level-A general hospitals in the nation. It was also the hospital designated to carry out liver transplant, kidney transplant, heart transplant and lung transplant on the list of hospitals approved by the National Health Planning Commission to carry out human organ transplant programs. In fact the hospital had carried out various human organ transplants before its designation[8].

Ⅱ. The Overview of the Organ Transplant Center

1. The Transplant Center was upgraded to the Organ Transplant Center of the Whole Army and the Organ Transplant Institute of the Whole Army in 2006 and 2011 respectively

The Organ Transplant Center of the 309th Hospital was established in April 2002 with Shi Bingyi as its director.

In March 2006, the Transplant Center of PLA No.309 Hospital was officially named the All-Army Organ Transplant Center by the Health Division of PLA’s Department of General Logistics, with Shi Bingyi as its director. In 2011, it was upgraded to the All-Army Organ Transplantation Institute by the same Health Division.
According to official hospital website report in November 2010, at present, the center consists of 8 departments, 4 sections and 10 nursing units, including urology, hepatobiliary surgery, hematology, nephrology, cell therapy, transplantation research section, transplantation intensive care unit, hemodialysis unit and laminar flow ward. The Organ Transplant Center has independent ward buildings and research unit, with a total floor area of more than one thousand square meters. There are more than 140 pieces of various large medical and scientific research instruments and equipment, with a total value of 26.96 million yuan. There are 316 beds, 231 staff members, 48 on staff in the main series, including 39 with master's degree or above and 21 with senior titles.

The center, in cooperation with Yale University Cancer Center, hired the director of the center Richard L. Edelson as guest professor[9].

According to another report on hospital website in 2013, the hospital performed liver, kidney, heart, lung, small intestine, pancreas, hematopoietic stem cells and multi-organ combined transplants, and set up the world's second largest kidney transplant database.

As of 2013, the hospital had grown from a small unit of a dozen people to a large transplant team of more than 300 people, with tens of thousands of organ transplants completed[10].

2. Shi Bingyi disclosed two transplant numbers

On March 2, 2006, an article titled “High Threshold Needed for Organ Transplant” in the Health News, a newspaper run by the CCP’s health ministry, quoted Shi Bingyi as saying, “There have been over 90,000 various organ transplants so far (2005) in the nation. [11]”

In May 2007, Shi Bingyi told Science Times reporter, “The number of organ transplants in China reached an all-time high in 2006, when nearly 20,000 organ transplants were completed. [12]”

III. Data Center of Management Committee of China Scientific Registration System for Kidney Transplantation (CSRKT)

The data center of the Scientific Registry for Kidney Transplantation (CSRKT, www.csrkt.org), launched by the Ministry of Health in August 2008, is hosted by the All-Army Transplant Center of the PLA No.309 Hospital, headed by Shi Bingyi[13]. Shi Bingyi presided over the establishment of the Chinese Scientific Registry of Kidney Transplantation (CSRKT), which provides kidney transplant data analysis and annual reports for the Ministry of Health and 123 medical institutions nationwide.[14] As the head of this organ transplant organization, Shi Bingyi was very influential in the CCP’s organ transplant community. He was also the vice chairman of the military’s organ transplantation specialized committee, and he presided over several organ transplant conferences of the entire CCP military[15].This shows the dominant role of military hospitals in the field of organ transplantation in mainland China, as evidenced by the influence of the 309th Hospitaland Shi Bingyi.

Ⅳ. The scale of the Organ Transplant Center is huge

1. Kidney transplantation “ranked first by far in the country for the past three years", gross income increased nearly eight times in five years

On November 17, 2010, the hospital’s updated Organ Transplant Center Information web page stated that the hospital had “ranked first by far in the country for the past three years.[16]”

The gross revenue of the center’s medical account rose from $30 million in 2006 to $230 million in 2010, an increase of nearly eight times in five years[17].

Figure 2 Web Snapshot of PLA No.309 Hospital

2. In 2012, the transplant center expanded by nearly 400 beds, with an estimated annual liver and kidney transplant volume of over 4,000 cases.

In 2012, the transplant center expanded by nearly 400 beds, with an estimated annual liver and kidney transplant volume of over 4,000 cases[18].

Xinhua News Network reported on February 28, 2012 that the PLA No.309 Hospital’s Organ Transplant Center had 393 beds.[19] This organ transplant center focused on kidney transplantation. Given that the transplant center "is a leader in the military in terms of annual capacity and bed turnaround times[20] , compared to the bed turnaround rate of Tianjin First Central Hospital in 2013, which exceeded 131.1[21] , assuming a 100% bed turnaround rate at PLA No.309 Hospital and an average length of stay of 30 days for both liver and kidney transplants, the liver and kidney transplant volume is at least 4781 (393×365×100%/30) cases/year.

3. In 2013, the transplant center grew to a transplant team of more than 300 people

The following is WOIPFG’s list of doctors suspected of living-donor organ harvesting. The table below lists the physicians on alleged live organ harvesting by WOIPFG. [22] The hospital has many interns, postgraduates, and trainees, and it helps guide many doctors from other hospitals. The hospital’s website stated in 2013, “We have admitted and jointly trained 60 graduate students in various categories, and currently (2013) we have 15 PhD and postdoctoral students and 10 master's students. In the past five years, we admitted 60 trainees for advanced study.” “ The institutions we partner with and provide assistance to include: Wangjiajun General Hospital of Cambodia, PLA 307 Hospital, PLA 22 Hospital, Beijing 254 Hospital of Beijing Military Region, 281 Hospital of Beijing Military Region, and the Medical Brigade of Troop 95944 of the Air-born Force, etc.”[23] This organ transplant center has been helping over 30 military and civilian with their clinical application of organ transplantation and other related technologies.[24] As of 2013, the hospital had grown from a small unit of a dozen people to a large transplant team of more than 300 people, with tens of thousands of organ transplants completed[25].

4. More than a dozen transplants in one night

The center had once completed 12 kidney transplants in one night[27]. In 2017, it was reported that Cai Ming, deputy director of the Organ Transplant Institute of the Whole Army and director of the Department of Urology, once performed transplants on 14 patients in a row overnight, from the time the organs were taken to the completion of the surgery, without stopping for days and nights[28].

Ⅴ. Phone investigations show high transplant volume and short waiting time

Date of Investigation: December 2, 2015 (+86-13501215502)

Subject of Investigation: Song Jiyong, deputy director-level physician of Organ Transplant Institute, PLA No.309 Hospital

Transcript:

Song Jiyong：You know, we have been doing a relatively large number of liver transplants, but this year is special …

Investigator：I know that you are doing a lot. [The] Armed Police [General Hospital] is also doing a lot. Someone I know waited for only 5 days before doing [the transplant].

Song Jiyong：We were about the same before . In the worst cases, it took two to three weeks [of waiting time] to do it. There are also cases where patients got the surgery on the day of their arrival.

Subject of Investigation: A Surgeon at PLA No.309 Hospital[29]

Date of Investigation: June 29, 2015 (+86-13701234615)

Summary:

Surgeon: Shi Bingyi is still doing liver transplant. Shi has done a lot and made a fortune. Shi is applying for the membership of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Others could it only twice, but he did it three times because he has connections. Shi Bingyi is pretty bad at it, so he hires people outside to perform the transplant. There’re many deaths from surgery. When there’s death, the hospital compensates it. But when surgery succeeds, he takes credit for it. Shi Bingyi has connections with people in courts, and has access to liver, kidney, heart and lung sources. He’s done less in past two years, he did a lot more a few years back.

Investigator: I searched PLA No.309 Hospital website, and it says he did over 1580 liver transplants himself.

Surgeon: Right. Where do you think these donated livers come from? It’ll surely be exposed, and people involved will be thrown into jail. Huang Jiefu and Shi Bingyi schemed together and they are bound by personal gains. The organ transplant circle is all manipulated by these few guys who monopolize the techniques. Go after these guys, get to the bottom of their doings, expose Shi Bingyi, and uncover where these organs come from. Let the authorities investigate, and everything will be dug out. Expose it on the media, let people expose it, then he’s done.

VI. Witness testimony: It’s easy to find a doctor who has done more than 2,000 such surgeries.

In November 2018, Falun Gong practitioner Yu Ming went to several organ transplant hospitals in Beijing to conduct secret investigation. About his investigation on PLA No.309 Hospital, Yu testified, “the hospital itself claimed it’s easy to find a doctor who has done over 2,000 such surgeries. Several doctors have done over 2,000 such surgeries. We took pictures of doctors who have done hundreds of such surgeries at least.” (Videos are available that show doctors’ names, profiles and photos)[30]

VII. Evidence in the paper of organ harvesting from living donors and experiments on human bodies at PLA No. 309 Hospital

1. Evidence of organ harvesting from living donors in Shi Bingyi’s paper

From Shi Binyi's paper, it can be seen that the organ extraction at PLA No.309 Hospital is a process to taking people’s lives. The paper titled “The Practice of Donor Liver and Kidney Extraction and Trimming” was published in “Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research and Clinical Rehabilitation”, fifth issue, 2008[31].

Shi Bingyi said in his paper, “the organ transplant center of the 2nd Affiliated Hospital of PLA general hospital (also known as PLA No.309 Hospital) completed a total of 100 liver and kidney extractions from donors without heartbeat January 2000 through December 2006. The procedures were performed in compliance with medical ethics.” The following words in the paper cause suspicion of transplantation with organs from living donors: “The average thermal ischemia time for the whole group of donors was five minutes.” The truth is, a donor after cardiac death cannot have such a short period of thermal ischemia. Such descriptions, with up to 100 cases of alleged donors, provide evidence of organ harvesting from living donors at the hospital.

Figure 3. Website snapshot of Shi Bingyi’s paper on “Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research”.

2. Evidence of experiments on living human bodies in Shi Bingyi’s paper

The PLA No.309 Hospital has done a large number of experiments with different organ excision methods by using living human bodies:

In "506 cases of combined thoracic and abdominal organ removal from volunteer cadavers" published by Shi Bingyi et al. in November 2003, it was mentioned that from December 1998 to April 2003, the hospital removed organs from 506 "volunteers" using multiple organ removal methods, among which, 10 cases of combined pancreatic and kidney removal, 9 cases were for technical training and 1 case was for clinical application; 10 cases of combined heart, liver and kidney removal, of which the liver and kidney removals were successfully used in clinical patients, and 7 cases of heart were for technical training.[32]

According to CCP official reports, the first living person to voluntarily donate organs if brain dead appeared in July 2006[33]. How is it possible that this hospital had over 500 "living persons to voluntarily donate organs if brain dead" before 2003?

These so called volunteers could not possibly be death-row-inmates either. In 2012, the hospital’s Organ Transplant Center had “393 beds. [34]”

Because the hospital's transplant center is "a leader in the military in terms of annual capacity and bed turnaround[35]", the annual transplant volume can reach thousands of cases, and the total number of death row inmates in the country is far less than the annual transplant volume of PLA No.309 Hospital, so it can not be explained by the organs of death row inmates.
