CHINA'S military is harvesting organs from unwilling live prison inmates, mostly Falungong practitioners, for transplants on a large scale - including to foreign recipients- according to a study.......http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599...1-1702,00.html

The PLA is quite a bad organization on the whole ethical area.
But what exactly do you propose to do?
Alot of the US manufacturing base has been moved there and the Chinese have a great deal of say in the region as well. So they can afford to ignore any of our complaints.

Maybe that Chinese policy will make prisons a deterrant, and reduce crime rates.

Most of those "crimes" involve thinking the wrong way.
It merely encourages the courts over there to convict more "criminals" to have a supply of cash goods (organs) available for sale and for the Peoples Liberation Army.

..then they are in serious breach of international conventions to which they are signatory - they should be charged with their crime and prosecuted to the fullest possible extent. The world community should unite in support of any such action.

That seems somewhat unlikely to happen.

I expect people would be unhappy if trade sanctions or such were used against China and the price of goods go up.

China is currently the largest exporter of goods in the world. People turn to them for cheap labor, investment, and rely on them as trading partners. China is able to use this momentum to economically force other countries to let them carry out some of their questionable policies without any foreign interference, simply because they can threaten to end trade agreements with countries which do attempt to stop them. That is why many countries and businesses will most likely look the other way when China carries out policies such as this and can legally monitor their people.

In summary, most countries will most likely not do anything, simply they are too afraid to lose investments from a "trustworthy" trading partner.

China has a large system of concentration/labor camps for the politically religiously and just plain unfit. They torture routinely..They starve people..They execute people like the lefties on this forum.

Harvesting organs as suggested is simply normal in that hell.


What should be done?..we should recongize the Cold War is over ..recognize China's usefulness of that time is now gone. Drop the favorable trading practices..drop being overly nice. Treat them as they where treated in the last 50's. We should treat them economically as we treated the USSR.



Ironically we should take up the mantle of the left and not deal with a state that is committing such things. But then odd as this may be the left will be the first to rush in and say no we should be nice to them.

Its not surprising considering China's human rights record. Unfortunately there isn't a single country in the world that is willing to sanction the worlds fastest growing economy.

Whos with me for an international embargo on those commie organ thieves!
Write to your elected reps!

That way we can at least pretend we did something.
Or we could just complain here.

Eithers good.
