In an exclusive interview with Vision Times, former People’s Liberation Army (PLA) journalist and eyewitness to the Tiananmen Square massacre, Jiang Lin, accused the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) of extending its organ harvesting operations to newborn infants.
She described the regime as inherently “bloodthirsty,” asserting that the CCP’s century‑long history is “a chronicle of killing.” Jiang called on the international community to act swiftly and back independent organizations—particularly Falun Gong practitioners who have long exposed these abuses—to prevent further destruction of innocent lives.
A former military reporter punished for exposing the 1989 massacre, Jiang resettled in Canada in 2019. She remains deeply engaged in examining World War II history and contemporary human rights violations.
“If we fail to pursue and stop such crimes against humanity,” she warned, “they will spread like a virus and endanger the entire world.”
From shock to outrage: ‘How could humanity sink so low?’
At the start of the interview, Jiang expressed her visceral reaction to reports of infant organ harvesting:

“It’s beyond comprehension—utterly inhuman and horrifying.”
She described first encountering news of mass organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners years ago:
“I kept asking myself—is this real? How could human beings descend to such depravity?”
In China, she said, some hospitals not only refuse to treat infant organ harvesting as a crime—some even boast publicly that China’s transplant capabilities rank among the world’s best. But behind these claims, Jiang explained, lies a hidden industrial chain.
Hospitals have imported advanced Western drugs and technologies to rapidly scale transplant operations. Importers profit heavily; hospitals charge exorbitant fees; doctors gain prestige and wealth—transiting from healers to participants in an exploitative system.
“Beneath that prosperity,” Jiang said, “is unthinkable human suffering. The victims now include not just adults, but babies—and the numbers continue to rise. This is not just China’s problem; it’s a global catastrophe. We cannot stand idly by.”
Since the 1990s, Jiang noted, the CCP has systematically harvested organs from executed prisoners. She cited Enver Tohti, a former Uyghur doctor now living in the U.K., who claims that in 1995 he removed a liver and kidneys from a living Uyghur prisoner in Urumqi to supply organs for high officials—describing it as akin to “butchering an animal.”
Jiang said the collaboration between military organs and civilian hospitals was routine, designed to keep organs fresh. Her background as a military reporter meant she was privy to certain internal practices. She recalled meeting a transplant team in Guangzhou:
“I once asked where their transplant technology came from. They said most of the critical drugs were imported via covert Hong Kong channels.”
From the 1990s onward, under the pretense of “scientific research” and “medical progress,” the transplant industry expanded explosively.
“This was never merely about advancing medical science,” Jiang argued. “They discovered a business model with minimal costs and massive profit margins. Hospitals got rich; officials extended life; doctors became executioners.”
A historical mirror: The CCP’s culture of death
Jiang views infant organ harvesting as consistent with the CCP’s longstanding contempt for human life.
“This regime’s disdain for life has existed since its founding,” she said.
She traced this cruelty back to past campaigns—such as the “Three Antis / Five Antis,” the suppression of supposed counterrevolutionaries, the Cultural Revolution, and the Great Famine—each of which claimed tens of millions of lives.
“Yet the regime never showed remorse,” she said. “It lacks any respect for life; its only loyalty is to its own survival and power.”
She added:
“In other countries, leaders go to their graves. The CCP displays its former rulers in crystal coffins—an eerie worship of power itself, proof of its pathological obsession with control.”
She also tied this worldview to her own Tiananmen witness:
“The CCP used tanks and machine guns on unarmed citizens in 1989. Decades later, it still conceals the true death toll. The real numbers may be beyond reckoning.”
The roots: Longevity obsession & institutional secrecy
Jiang traced the expansion of organ harvesting to a secret medical apparatus under the CCP — the Central Health Bureau, responsible for elite health management.
“Its roots reach back to the Yan’an period,” she explained. “After 1949, the regime founded 301 Hospital and a special bureau to research longevity for Party leaders.”
In early years, due to scarcity, this bureau imported Western drugs and medical products strictly for top officials. Over time, the regime’s obsession with longevity intensified.
“They elevated living longer to a political objective,” Jiang said. “When harvesting organs from adults no longer shocks the system, the target shifts to infants. Human life becomes expendable; only their ambition is boundless.”
She also cited a September 3 military parade during which Western media cameras allegedly captured Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin discussing organ transplantation and life-extension treatments.
“Reuters reported it, and the video circulated widely,” she recalled. “Xi angrily demanded its removal, but the damage was done. The world saw that their ‘commemoration’ was never about peace—it was about preserving power.”
In Jiang’s view, the CCP’s progression toward infant organ harvesting is logical for a regime that views human life as disposable.
“From the outset, the Party has treated ordinary lives as expendable,” she said. “When killing adults no longer makes waves, they move on to babies. There is no limit—only our imagination.”
New report exposes infant organ harvesting: ‘Doctors become executioners’
On Oct. 1, 2025, the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) released a comprehensive investigative report exposing the CCP’s large-scale harvesting of organs from Falun Gong practitioners and infants, calling it “one of the most brutal crimes in human history.”
The report states that since 1999, when former CCP leader Jiang Zemin launched the persecution of Falun Gong, China’s organ transplant industry has seen explosive growth. Organ sources remain highly opaque, with waiting times as short as a few hours, raising deep concern within the international community.
Among the report’s claims:
- Falun Gong practitioners serve as a principal “live organ bank.”
- Military hospitals like Changzheng allegedly performed infant-to-adult kidney transplants using donors as young as 33 days old.
- In 2018, pediatric liver transplants surged to over 1,000 cases, surpassing U.S. numbers.
- Regional networks in Shandong, Henan, Sichuan allegedly abduct women—some Falun Gong practitioners—for forced insemination and premature birth, preparing infants for organ harvesting.
- Thousands of newborns, some only days old, are reportedly killed annually in this scheme.
- PLA General Hospital in Shenyang is named as a site where newborn livers were harvested under a “Project 981” longevity program.
- This network allegedly extends abroad via surrogacy and illegal baby trafficking.
WOIPFG’s report calls on the United Nations to initiate an independent investigation and enforce cross-border accountability for crimes against humanity.
One of Jiang’s most chilling points: the transformation of medical professionals into agents of murder.
“The Party always begins with slogans like ‘Love the Party.’ Before ordering you to do evil, they ask: ‘Do you love the Party?’ Who dares say no? Refuse, and your job—or your family—suffers.”
She explained that these crimes are masked under scientific language:
“They claim it’s about advancing human longevity. Doctors, seduced by prestige, believe they serve noble causes. It echoes how Nazi physicians justified atrocity. Fame and fortune replace conscience.”
Some doctors, she said, now regard participation as a badge of honor.
“It’s tragic,” she said. “They’ve turned perversion into achievement.”
To excuse killing newborns, some doctors claim the infants were “already dying”—a moral dodge used during past SARS and COVID waves.
Bit by bit, she said, “white‑coated angels” became “butchers in lab coats.”
“When the CCP collapses,” Jiang warned, “these crimes will not vanish. Participants will one day face justice.”
Supporting Falun Gong’s truth-telling: A call for conscience
Jiang expressed deep admiration for Falun Gong practitioners’ decades of efforts to bring truth to light.
“This is more than courage—it’s conscience,” she said. “Their work awakens the world to justice. Without accountability, the suffering persists.”
She praised the documentary State Organs:
“It pierces the soul,” she said. “It must be shared openly—not as a business, but as the truth everyone deserves to see.”
Jiang also spoke on the CCP’s suppression of Shen Yun Performing Arts, a New York–based troupe that revives traditional Chinese culture.
“The CCP fears Shen Yun because it reveals beauty suppressed under the regime,” she said. “They’ve used lawsuits, threats, and disinformation to silence its audiences.”
She noted that many Shen Yun performances dramatize organ harvesting.
“This is how the regime brands Falun Gong as a ‘cult’—a smear campaign to hide truth and stop people from seeing.”
Invoking lessons from World War II, Jiang criticized global silence.
“During WWII, casualty reports and oversight forced transparency. Today, why does the world turn a blind eye? Where are Canada, the U.S., and the UN? They must act—not later, but now. Launch independent investigations. Uphold human dignity.”
As the interview closed, Jiang Lin—formerly a military journalist turned rights defender—left a powerful message:“Though we live in a time of information, lies still spread faster than truth. That’s why I stand with Falun Gong’s exposure efforts. Films like State Organs should reach every corner of the globe. Only when truth is seen can conscience awaken—and only then can justice begin.”
