China's card system for organ donation has been used for over four years. Recently, Reuters reported that "consent for organ transplants will not work in China." The reality is that families in China reportedly don't follow donor consent. Chinese citizens have pointed out that ordinary people fear that donated organs will serve corrupt officials. In consequence, few Chinese are willing to donate their organs. In light of this, the question remains as to where China's numerous organs for transplant have come from? On May 17, Reuters reported that, "China in 2007 banned organ transplants from living donors ... but in 2009, it launched a national system to coordinate donation after death." The implementation of an organ donor card system has met heavy resistance. "Families still insist on having the final say." A member of Shenzhen Red Cross staff at an organ donation office commented. It was revealed that Shenzhen has only 10-20 organ donations per year. An office clerk for body donation at Chongqing Red Cross said the ratio of those waiting for organs to organs being donated was 300 to 1. He said that organ donation has only been introduced in China for a few years. Due to traditional Chinese philosophy, few people have really done taken part. Sun Wenguang, retired professor at Shandong University, said Chinese people are conservative with organ donation. Also, they distrust the Chinese authorities. Sun told Radio Free Asia that due to corruption in the officialdom, people feared donated organs would be used for corrupt officials. Data from China's Ministry of Health shows that each year, China has 100,000 patients on the transplant list. Only 10,000 can really receive organs. Where do the remaining organs come from? China's organ transplantation has aroused an international outcry. The CCP authorities openly claimed that transplanted organs have mainly come from the executed prisoners. On April 30, US-based ABC reported that among organs that have been purchased by patients internationally, 90% came from China's executed prisoners. Relevant reports by human rights organizations show that China executes over 4,000 prisoners each year. The Chinese Communist Party(CCP) authorities declared that these prisoners had given consent to donate organs. However, China's practices have been condemned internationally. Maria Singh, professor of medicine at the University of Sydney, reportedly said that the prisoners, given they are incarcerated, "don't have the freedom to make that decision." Lan Shu, critic: "The CCP alleged that they have taken organs from executed prisoners, to serve transplantation. But the number of transplants does not match the number of the executed prisoners. The CCP can't justify this huge discrepancy. This was especially true when questioning where those organs came from, during the past 10 years? This has become a top issue for the international community. Focus is now being given towards the CCP's crimes of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners since it began it's persecution of the group in 1999." On April 29 in London, UK Parliament held a special hearing. During this, the CCP's crimes of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners were discussed. Ethan Gutmann, renowned writer and investigative journalist, spoke during the hearing. During his three years in China, Gutmann has undertaken thorough investigations. He estimates that about 65,000 Falun Gong practitioners were killed for their organs within the period 2000-2008. Ethan Gutmann also mentioned when Wang Lijun fled to the US Consulate in Chengdu. This event was linked to the death of British businessman Neil Heywood. Wang Lijun's defection directly led to Bo Xilai's later dismissal. Subsequently, on Baidu, a major internet search engine in China, filter blockades for the sensitive words "organ harvesting", were removed, allowing people to search those terms.
