Evil Attribute Six: Speaking Well but Behaving Villainously
On the surface, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) "speaks no evil, hears no evil and does no evil", as is clearly shown by their mottos, such as, "rule a nation with law" or "rule a nation with virtue" or "China's best period in human rights" or "the harmonious society" or "eight glories, eight shames", and so on.
On April 3rd, a Canadian diplomat and expert on China issues, Brian MacAdams, said in a speech, as expected, that the CCP denied the existence of Sujiatun Concentration Camp. He further elaborated more clearly: if one does research on "China denied," with the Google search engine, one finds 2.1 million such statements. Mr. MacAdams used an example, clearly demonstrating the CCP's duplicity. After seizing power, the CCP denied many well-known facts, including the great famine in which between 20 to 43 million Chinese people starved to death, the re-education through forced labor camps, the Tiananmen Massacre, SARS, bird flu and the organ harvesting from death row prisoners.
Mr. MacAdams announced that no one should be surprised by the CCP's latest denials. The reason is that the CCP's villainous nature is to pretend to be a maligned victim, and publicly deny everything despite strong evidence to the contrary.
On the afternoon of April 13th, the Epoch Times held a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington DC, at which the Chinese Epoch Times editor-in-chief, Guo Jun, spoke about the official Chinese official reaction to the organ harvesting news. Guo stressed that Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson Qin Gang had officially denied Sujiatun incident on March 28th, followed by a denial by Chinese officials from Sujiatun. Qin Gang first denied that the Sujiatun hospital removes organs from live Falun Gong practitioners and second that organs are not removed from executed prisoners in China.
Guo Jun said that it is well known worldwide that the CCP regime removes organs from executed prisoners. Last year, Huang Jiefu, the deputy minister of the CCP Health Ministry even spoke about it in public.
The Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson Qin Gang was not truthful concerning this issue. As the Chinese Communist regime has publicly admitted to organ removal from executed prisoners, one can logically deduce that Qin's denial is a lie. Looking at it from that angle, how convincing is the other denial. We need to be clear about the issue of who is lying and who is speaking the truth.
Evil Attribute Seven: Committing Murder for Huge Profits and Killing with a Borrowed Knife
Whether speaking from a medical or humanitarian perspective, the CCP's nature as a killing machine cannot be denied. We should look at the publicity blitz from the transplant hospitals and transplant centers and the news about the high organ survival rate, advanced equipment and medical experience - all this assumes as a premise that a slaughter is taking place.
After several decades of "nurturing, sharpening and perfecting" their killing instincts, the killing by the CCP has become even more brutal and has achieved unprecedented depths of camouflage and covert activities. Borrowing resources from hospitals that are meant to save people not only deceives the public, but it also destroys the witnesses. The high earnings and quick money from organ transplants will encourage the criminal executioners to continue committing these crimes.
The CCP's intention is genocide, and the evil police and executioners purpose is money and personal interest. The two come together easily, and everything is done in the dark. The CCP has always been adept in hiring murderers to kill. They even have extended such activities overseas. Let's remember what happened when Zeng Qinghong went to South Africa. Because of the fear that Falun Gong practitioners would file charges against him, he hired murderers and gangsters to shoot the practitioners who would be instrumental in the prosecution. The CCP also hires villains to harass overseas Falun Gong practitioners.
Evil Attribute Eight: Blustering to Deceive the International Community
After the Sujiatun concentration camp was exposed overseas, the CCP remained silent for three weeks. Then on March 28th, Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson Qin Gang denied the existence of the concentration camp at a press conference, and invited the Western media to investigate.
On April 19th, a member of the first team of investigators from the "Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong in China" (CIPFG) was denied a visa by the Chinese consulate in Sydney. Linda Xu from the Sound of Hope radio station went to the Chinese consulate in Sydney to apply for a visa. Her application was immediately denied .
The official replied: "We cannot give you a visa. Why don't you ask Qin Gang for an invitation letter yourself!"
We are asking overseas reporters who are allowed to enter China, "If you can't independently investigate and interview, what truth can you truly see?"
The CCP not only lies, but has perfected acting. It is just as critics have pointed out, "The CCP is not improving human rights, but acting out human rights." An unnamed Falun Gong practitioner, whose name is withheld for safety reasons, who had been illegally detained at Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in 2001, said that the CCP used deceptions about Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in early March 2001. At the time, Masanjia Forced Labor Camp became worried, and cleaned up the area. All evaluations concerning Falun Gong practitioners that hung on the corridor walls were removed. Recreational material and athletic equipment, such as volleyball, ropes, and cards were put out for everyone to see. The reason for this was that after the Beijing "two meetings," reporters would visit.
Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhao Ming, a graduate of Ireland's Trinity College was once detained at Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp in Beijing. During the illegal detention, because Zhao Ming refused to renounce his belief, he suffered torment, was beaten up, physically punished, deprived of sleep and tortured with many electric batons simultaneously.
Zhao Ming confirmed this information. After the truth was exposed and the international community paid notice to human rights in labor camps, the labor camps did not improve the human rights situation; instead the persecutors took the torture underground and did everything more covertly. Monetary outlays improved the surroundings to pull the wool over the eyes of outsiders. It has become very difficult for visitors and the media to learn the true story of the persecution.
Mr. Zhao recalled that in the detainee cells (now called dorms) at Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp, there was a fish tank, TV and a desk. The place that was especially set up for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners also had a library, the courtyard had a lawn, basketball field, and deer, rabbits, peacock, and chicken, were brought in. It looked just like a quiet zoo. But, the Tuanhe staff has never stopped brainwashing and persecuting untransformed Falun Gong practitioners. The improved surroundings are a camouflage. Though they may benefit those who were "transformed" after brainwashing, Falun Gong practitioners who remain firm in their belief, will be tortured in that environment.
Another example is that during the SARS crisis, to deceive the international community, the hospitals in Shanghai and Beijing drove SARS patients through the streets during overseas media visits. As soon as the media left, the patients were brought back.
When the truth was exposed, after three weeks of "cleaning-up," the CCP transferred all Falun Gong practitioners from the Sujiatun Concentration Camp to other camps. They also brought in plainclothes police and some local residents who act as small vendors and peddlers at the Sujiatun train station and surrounding areas. They lie to overseas reporters.
After spending a month destroying the criminal evidence, the CCP finally allowed staff from the American Embassy and Shenyang Consulate to come in for an "investigation," and then used them to deceive the international community.
Evil Attribute Nine: Opposing Morality and Squashing Justice
Renowned human rights lawyer, David Matas, spoke about the CCP's atrocities. He mainly discussed the setting up of concentration camps to harvest organs from living practitioners. "The CCP has been known to harvest organs from living people for years. In China's judicial system, criminal acts that violate human rights are covered up by the (CCP) government. There is no independent court or judicial system where one could address violations of human rights and take human rights violators to task."
The CCP regards the common people as fodder for their purposes, and carries out large-scale crimes against humanity. This is also because China's entire judicial system is beholden to the CCP. Even the lives and safety of attorneys, such as Gao Zhisheng and Guo Guoding, who dare to represent Falun Gong practitioners are threatened by the CCP . For years, Jiang's regime had held fast to the policy "Killing is regarded suicide, no need to check identity, directly cremate," when it concerned Falun Gong practitioners.
On April 20th, 2006, during Hu Jintao's visit to America, the witness named Peter, the first to reveal the secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp, testified in public. He said that the crime of hidden theft of Falun Gong practitioners' organs is perpetrated by many of China's elite and lower level people. Those involved in these crimes are the guards from forced labor camp, surgeons who perform the operations, nurses, officials in the governments health system, and staff from the public security system. Officials at the highest levels in Beijing also have a hand in it. Middlemen sell black market organs and look for patients in overseas markets. This crime has taken on such huge proportions that it is beyond any ones imagination.
The brutal persecution goes beyond normal people's imagination and mental endurance, and it targets a peaceful cultivation group that follows "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." During these depraved activities, how many kind people have experienced cruel and inhuman torment, when their organs were removed while still alive and before being killed? How many people live daily with the pain of having lost their relatives? How many still have a conscience after being forced to do such evil deeds? How many suffer torture from their consciences over and over again?
The second witness, whose ex-husband was a surgeon in Sujiatun had written a detail in his diary:
When a patient (practitioner) lost consciousness after anesthesia, he cut open her clothes with a scissors. A package fell out of her pocket. My husband opened it and found a small box inside. Inside the box, there was a lucky charm with Falun Gong's symbol and a note. It said, "Mommy, Happy Birthday."
The doctor was filled with remorse that held him day and night. He could not forget that he participated in the crime of removing organs from live Falun Gong practitioners.
Evil Attribute Ten: Resisting Civilized Behavior and Threatening Humanity
The secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp is by many described as "the tip of the iceberg" in the persecution of Falun Gong. Well, on what scale should we put the persecution when it comes to removing organs from living Falun Gong practitioners?
According to the third witness, a military doctor from the Shenyang military area, the hospital at Sujiatun is only one out of 36 similar labor camps across China. Most Falun Gong practitioners are still detained in prisons, labor camps, and detention centers. They are relocated in large groups when needed. In Jiutai, Jilin Province, which has the fifth highest number of detained Falun Gong practitioners, 14,000 people are detained. The detention center with the largest number of people is code named 672-S. More than 120,000 people are detained there, including many Falun Gong practitioners and prisoners of conscience.
According to information from CCP insiders, the organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners, including the cremation of the body after removing organs from the live body, is not uncommon in China's labor camps, wherever they are located - transplants are performed in provinces and cities that detain Falun Gong practitioners, including the local police hospital (including armed police hospital). They all collude and the depraved staff from labor camps and middlemen who sell organs to society, are all committing crimes.
The crimes of removing Falun Gong practitioners' organs are happening in forced labor camps in every province of China. The internal organs of Falun Gong practitioners that died from torture during persecution were all removed. On pictures of the dead one sees the tell-tale scars.
It is quite common that Falun Gong practitioners are forced to have blood tests in forced labor camps. This is not for a health check-up. For example, Minghui reported on April 9th, 2006, and in the beginning of 2005, that staff from Shandong Province No. 2 Forced Labor Camp (Wangcun Forced Labor Camp) took blood for tests from all detainees. Falun Gong practitioner Wang Yuzhi said that her organs were checked out at Wanjia Forced Labor Camp.
The CCP's public data reveals that there are currently more than 670 prisons in China, which detain over 1.5 million people. There are 300 forced labor camps which generally hold 300,000 people, with the majority being Falun Gong practitioners.
When Doctor Pang Yubin talked about organ "reverse matching," he said that after a patient requests an organ transplant, the chance for a compatible organ within several days is 1%. This means in layman terms that one can only achieve that if 100 donors are available. In China, the process is reversed; that is to say, when a foreigner comes for an organ transplant to China, he/she will find that there are many live people's organs to choose from.
What we are saying in the above paragraph is that the normal way of matching requires a patient to have to wait for the organ. Reverse matching happens when the organ is available for the patient at any time.
According to incomplete statistics from the China Medical Association Organ Transplant Institute, China had completed a total of over 55,000 organ transplants by the end of 2003. Kidney transplants accounted for 50,000 transplants. At this time there are 5,000 kidney transplants per year. The 106 transplant locations that registered in 2001 carried out a combined 5,561 kidney transplants. In 2004, there were more than 7,000 kidney transplants in China. Among them were several hundred cases of kidney transplants from relatives, and there was approximately a 40 % increase. The numbers most likely do not include live organ transplants (including kidney transplants) at secondary hospitals, or even small hospitals in villages and towns. According to research, a plastic surgeon from Yanling Hospital even had a kidney transplant. Organ transplant advertisements are even posted on telephone poles on some streets in China.
Liver transplants between 1991 to 1998 (eight years): Chinese surgeons performed 78 liver transplants, and achieved long-term survival by some. Later transplant operations increased drastically: In 1999, 2000 and 2001, there were 118, 254, and 486 cases respectively. Transplants increased to 996 in 2002 and to over 1,300 in 2003.
The Xinjing Newspaper reported on June 23rd, 2005 that in 2004 liver transplants increased rapidly to over 2,000 cases. Taking the Dongfang Organ Transplant Center in Tianjin as an example, its deputy chief Zheng Hong said in an interview during the first half of 2005 that there were 311 liver transplants performed at Dongfang Organ Transplant Center. The above numbers are incomplete and relatively conservative. The actual transplant numbers are much higher. In fact, during recent years, China has become a hot market for organ transplants. Many Koreans, Japanese, Taiwanese, Australians, Israelis and citizens or residents of other countries went to China for organ transplants. According to estimates by the Korean medical industry, around 1,000 Koreans have gone to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places in China for organ transplants every year.
From this data, we can see two things. First, since the beginning of the persecution, especially in 2000 and 2001, the most severe period of the persecution, organ transplant surgeries increased drastically. Secondly, if we only look at kidney transplant data, which are conservative estimates on the CCP's website, the number of transplants per year is 5,000 between the years 2000 to 2005. Kidney transplant surgeries have totaled 30,000 so far.
That is to say, from 2000 until now, a minimum of 30,000 innocent Chinese people have been killed by the CCP within six years. The number of kidneys removed from living people has reached 60,000. If we use China's kidney matching rate of 1.2% (in order to satisfy matching requirement, a suitable kidney supply can only be found from nearly 100 donors), then the actual live organs that were removed would be 100 for a successful surgery. Can you imagine how huge this number is?
Investigators from international organizations discovered that a compatible kidney can be found within 24 hours. When asked, many hospitals admitted that the donors are Falun Gong practitioners.
In China, only Falun Gong practitioners are suffering under the policy that "killing is regarded as suicide." Their right to life is inconsequential and completely disregarded. Well then, where does such a huge, hidden, nationwide allocated organ storehouse come from? It is obvious!
The nearly seven year long persecution of Falun Gong practitioners is not only the persecution of the Falun Gong spiritual group, but also the persecution of the human spirit, morality and conscience.
The murderers Jiang, Luo, Liu and Zhou are responsible and their "every cell is wet with the Chinese people's blood." The harm this persecution brings to mankind is far deeper than the harm brought by a war, and more devastating. Therefore, the punishment of those criminals should also match their crime.
Just like chief U.S. prosecutor Robert Jackson said in his opening speech at the Nuremberg Trials, "The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating, that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored, because it cannot survive their being repeated."
