falun gong claims that there's still falun gong prisoners getting harvested but they probably ran out

the economics of it apparently go like this: slave labor, which is the typical way to monetize genocide that the nazis did, takes a long time to roi and involves more risk, you need to feed peeps, etc. so that's the reasoning behind organ taking: time to roi

but that's just a thing about advancedish economies doing genocide. so that's just gonna be a thing for that sort of country from now on

I liked the bit where they offered scheduled organ transplants.

The only thing I find difficult to believe about the CCP selling the organs of the people in it's racially based death camps is the industrial scale of it.

Is the market for kidneys, livers, hearts etc. big enough to support the supposed amounts of organs that they are supposedly selling? Also what about blood type matches and the other difficult surgical type stuff that can easily make an organ unusable?

Please don't misunderstand. The Uighurs are being intentionally genocided. Both culturally and physically. And I have no problem believing that there are a couple of millionaire sheiks, and high ranking party members with deth camp harvested organs floating about in them. But I wouldn't think there would be a global market big, rich, and shady enough to support the wholesale selling of inmate organs.

However, saying all that, it is the CCP. So I could be easily persuaded.

It's not really industrial. People with rank in the Party who need organs can always get one right away. Where those organs come from, who knows! We definitely don't harvest them anymore, we stated publicly that we stopped so it for sure doesn't happen ever.

Well, it's not just party apparatchiks. Even foreigners with some cash are allowed to take part for those sweet, sweet Halal organs.

A lot of "large scale" and "widespread" kinda descriptors used to describe it, which makes me curious how large an operation it is/was.

big variety of possible needed organs means you need lots of peeps to search for a match then take their organs

Chinese are very hesitant to even give blood let alone donate organs donor cycle or live. China does an absurd number of transplants iirc more than everyone else combined. Simple statistics and accounting screams the official numbers aren't remotely plausible even if you were to low ball that too. It's so bad even wilfully ignorant/naive doctors from the west were like "Oh poo poo" and :sever:

If you have a couple million to chose from... Escapees say one of the first things they do is draw your blood. Run the tests, throw it into a database and you're done. You don't need as many as you imply.

"Very hesitant" is putting it lightly. Some universities, companies, and government offices have to make blood donation mandatory since there is such an aversion to it, which is nothing compared to organ donation. The predominant feeling that I picked up in China is that signing up for organ donation is tempting the fates and basically asking them to cause you to die younger than you should. Being an organ donor is like putting a big target on your back and asking for something bad to happen. There is a (imo) greater than 99% chance that any organ you receive in or from China was without the consent of the original owner.

South Korea is light years more socially advanced than the PRC, which is still run the same way it was 500+ years ago, the emperor still lives in zhongnanhai but his title is different now and there are incidental changes to how the absolute monarch is picked and (maybe still) how long he holds power.

Dictatorships are not modern societies, even if they have the superficial trappings of modernity, only democracies are.
