As I lived five years in China, I can confirm this is true. It's everywhere on the streets if you speak Chinese and look Chinese and (seemingly) idolize Mao Zedong. Kind of like a public secret, where everyone knows what's going on but everyone chooses to turn a blind eye. Need to say also organ market is legal in China, no matter how you get those organs.
A lot of Indonesians go to China just to have kidney transplant, because that hospital (it's in Guangzhou but I cannot give the name) assures 100% availability of kidney stock, and also a warranty. If your newly transplanted kidney is rejected, you can have a new one within a week. It's ridiculous.
It's not from Falun Gong alone, by the way. Also coming from those corruptors, humanists, and basically everybody whom the government throws to prison with no chance of coming out again. It's also common secret in China that if you are a tourist, going home alone from a bar drunk, in the wrong taxi (the kind of taxi that looks legal but doesn't have meter, we call them 黑车 here, meaning black taxi) you risk missing your organs and your life.
One of our friends went missing that way. He was seen last in Tianjin, going home alone drunk (his habit) by a taxi. Some of his friends offered to take him home but this stupid guy vehemently refused. Well, it was the last time he was seen. It was 2009, end of the year, but forgot the exact month.
Anyway, great job, Scott. Sorry it's not a question. If you are going to write a book about the market in China, I'd like to read it. Wish you success from Indonesia here.
