How the CCP Silences Talk on Forced Organ Harvesting in the West

Beijing uses its long arm to stifle people from speaking out about its atrocities.

When human rights lawyer David Matas put himself on Beijing’s radar by investigating the regime’s systematic killing of prisoners of conscience for their organs, suspicious events began happening around him.

Organizers who scheduled him to discuss the topic canceled at the last minute. Booked forum sites backed out with little explanation. A day before hosting him for a forum, one venue was the target of a drive-by shooting that left a bullet hole in the window.

During a separate live Q&A session, a man called in, identifying himself as a Chinese government police official.

“Are you afraid of death? You are brutally interfering in our Party’s internal policies,” the man said via an interpreter. “We’ll take revenge against you, are you not afraid of that?”

Mr. Matas remained steadfast. “If you don’t like what I said, try to stop organ transplant abuse in China and don’t threaten me,” he recalled saying.

More than trying to intimidate him, he said, Chinese authorities were acknowledging “they just want to insist on their position, even though they have nothing to say about it in their favor.”

That was 2008, two years after the regime’s mass killing-for-profit scheme first came to light. It’s a billion-dollar industry driven by the promise of extremely short waiting times for domestic and international patients. The supply comes from the forceful removal of organs from unwilling prisoners.

By 2024, not much seems to have changed in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) other than a new veneer of subtlety.

Rather than clashing in the open, the regime now retreats more into the background, wielding its economic and diplomatic arm to muffle criticism while cajoling elites in the political and medical field to speak on its behalf. In some ways, it has succeeded. From political circles to entertainment and academia, a net of fear hangs over, frustrating those seeking to make headway in exposing the abuse.

‘Big Lie in Plain Sight’
