Vatican urged to confront China’s forced organ harvesting record

"The Hudson Institute is a prominent American conservative non-profit think tank headquartered in Washington, D.C" surely they're completely unbiased? "The organization is funded through private contributions, corporate support, and government grants" surely that wouldn't affect anything right?! The article is released by the Catholic herald a fundamentally religious newspaper..... CEO John P. Walters of the Hudson institute is a republican by the Way. The GOP has no interest in making China look bad right? Right?!

Totally agree there's probably some truth in there somewhere. Organ trade is run by international crime organisations that are transnational. Sure there's probably Chinese nationals involved but China as country is such an production and trade powerhouse they simply don't need to do such dirty business. They have way bigger and better plans.(New energy, robotics, technology). I would expect this type thing from north Korea who's whole economy has been running on crime for decades now. The west especially the USA has a high interest in making China look worse then it is. they're saying it out loud they want to stop China from progressing. It's state doctrine.

“GENEVA (14 June 2021) – UN human rights experts* said today they were extremely alarmed by reports of alleged ‘organ harvesting’ targeting minorities, including Falun Gong practitioners, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Muslims and Christians, in detention in China.” It’s still allegation by the same people. It’s prob just wide spread abuse and corruption within the prison system instead of state purposely doing it.

AI Overview China has a critical organ shortage with approximately 300,000 patients needing transplants annually, but only about 10,000–20,000 procedures are performed. The waitlist relies on a national computer system (COTRS) prioritizing urgency and compatibility, with 97% of organs coming from deceased donors. Despite a 2015 ban on using executed prisoner organs, concerns persist over sourcing, and traditional beliefs inhibit voluntary donations.  **Key Aspects of China's Organ Waitlist** * **Waiting List Size:** Roughly 300,000 people need transplants every year, creating a massive disparity between demand and supply. * **Allocation System (COTRS):** The [China Organ Transplant Response System (COTRS)](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7147652/) was implemented in 2011, mandated by law in 2013 to ensure a transparent, automatic allocation process based on matching, urgency, and geography. * **Waitlist Characteristics:** The list includes patients awaiting kidney, liver, heart, and lung transplants. By 2019, over 47,000 people were officially on the kidney transplant waitlist specifically. * **Wait Times:** While some reports suggest long waiting periods typical of international standards, other reports on the [China Organ Harvest Research Center](https://chinaorganharvest.org/report/findings/1-on-demand-transplants/on-demand-transplants/) highlight instances of extremely short wait times for on-demand, or "on-demand," transplants I looked up the link highlighted, and under the myth tab, at the very bottom; # [How organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience can happen on a large scale in the 21st century](https://chinaorganharvest.org/myth/how-organ-harvesting-from-prisoners-of-conscience-can-happen-on-a-large-scale-in-the-21st-century/) Under communist rule in China, prisoners of conscience are labeled as “enemies of the state” and systematically demonized and dehumanized. Their bodies are treated as property of the state to be used at will. China started performing transplants with organs harvested from executed prisoners on a small scale in the 1970s. In the years that followed, it also used organs from prisoners of conscience, Uyghurs, Tibetans and House Christians in captivity. The large-scale development of China’s transplantation system starting in 2000 coincided with the Communist Party’s campaign to wipe out Falun Gong. It's a Falun Gong media op
