On Feb. 5, a 32-year-old pregnant woman and her 7-year-old daughter went missing in Puyang, Henan Province. In a separate case, two brothers reportedly disappeared together in Huanggang, Hubei Province.
The growing number of missing-person reports has drawn widespread attention online. Some users have speculated about alleged links to organ harvesting involving the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), though no evidence has been publicly presented to substantiate such claims.

The families filed reports with police in Guiyang, Dafang County, and the Baili Azalea Administrative Area. They also posted appeals on social media and searched together for more than 10 days without success.

CCP insider alleges 14 million organ harvesting victims in 2025
On Jan. 25, Zeng Jieming, a former mainland Chinese media professional now living overseas, posted on X through an account called “Xiufeng Zhenren,” claiming he had received an anonymous whistleblower report from an official within the CCP’s civil affairs system.
According to Zeng, the whistleblower alleged that since the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, many deaths were linked to what was described as an official organ-harvesting network. The claim stated that in the first three years after the pandemic began, authorities carried out organ harvesting killings across targeted groups, with individuals born in the 1980s reportedly accounting for the largest proportion.
The whistleblower further alleged that the mortality rate for those born in the 1980s during the pandemic years was twice that of those born in the 1970s and even higher than that of those born in the 1950s. According to the claim, this explained what was described as an unusually high death rate among people born in the 1980s in China.
The allegations also asserted that by the end of 2024, orders were issued to exclude most deaths categorized as “organ donations” from official death statistics. Bodies missing organs and found discarded, the whistleblower claimed, were no longer counted as deaths when cremated but instead recorded as “missing persons.” Beginning in 2025, public security authorities were allegedly instructed not to open cases regarding discarded bodies missing organs.
Citing what were described as internal funeral home statistics, the whistleblower claimed that in 2025 alone, more than 14 million bodies missing organs were recorded as “missing persons.” The whistleblower characterized the situation as “nothing short of large-scale murder.”
Separately, Vision Times reporter Chen Jing wrote in a recent commentary that from late 2025 to early 2026, a series of revelations appeared to suggest the existence of an organ trade network allegedly involving powerful officials, business figures, police, and criminal elements. The commentary alleged that ambulances were being used not to save lives but to transport victims, and that police acted as “clean-up crews” in abduction cases.
These allegations have not been independently verified.
