China experts say it’s time for the United States to counter the regime’s unrestricted warfare by exposing the forced organ harvesting.

The United States and China are locked in a war, experts are saying. It’s not a war of bullets, but rather an “unrestricted war” in almost every other strategic domain, including the economy, cyberspace, culture, and information. In many ways, the information war is key. It determines what people know, which then sets what they think. That, in turn, determines their actions in all other areas of the conflict.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) wages its information war on many levels, from seeding grand overarching narratives to tarring individual critics. In some areas, however, the regime lacks a counterargument. Some of its actions are so gruesome, the only option is to suppress the information, experts say. It’s exactly these areas where the United States could mount severe, potentially fatal pressure on the regime—if willing to pursue them, several China experts told The Epoch Times.
“The darkest crime they’re doing right now is organ harvesting,” said Sean Lin, former U.S. Army microbiologist and Epoch Times contributor. He is also a member of the independent group, Committee on the Present Danger: China.
“Maybe there are even darker crimes, more vicious, darker than organ harvesting. We don’t know. And so the CCP is very afraid of this being further exposed, further recognized by the international community,” he added.
The fact that the CCP was killing prisoners of conscience for their organs was first reported in 2006 by The Epoch Times based on whistleblower testimony. Since then, evidence of the crime has snowballed, resulting in an independent tribunal in the United Kingdom confirming it in 2019 beyond a reasonable doubt. Organs for China’s lucrative transplant industry have largely come from imprisoned practitioners of the Falun Gong, a faith group persecuted by the CCP, as well as other dissidents, the tribunal concluded.
Still, to this day, no government has published the results of a formal investigation into the issue.
“Western governments did not take all this information seriously. They were still wishfully thinking that if we bring economic freedom to China, then eventually China will change its political system,” said Nan Su, a China commentator and senior editor with the Chinese edition of The Epoch Times.
