| Inside China's Largest Civil Disobedience Movement, and Why You Haven't Heard of It: Larry Liu |

| [ET - American Thought Leaders] In China, a grassroots, underground movement of Chinese has been cutting through the communist regime’s censorship and propaganda machines—one pamphlet at a time. Since the Chinese communist regime launched a nationwide persecution of the Falun Gong spiritual discipline 25 years ago, Falun Gong’s millions of adherents in China started creating secret underground print shops to expose the regime’s human rights atrocities. All across China, they secretly distribute flyers, DVDs, and brochures en masse, hang posters in public areas in the dead of night, and circulate software to their fellow Chinese so they can circumvent China’s internet blockade. Those arrested face years in prison—as long as 15 years. So who are these people? And why is their story critical to understanding China today? In this episode, I sit down with Larry Liu, deputy director of the Falun Dafa Information Center.

#1  Another example is the issue of organ harvesting. David Matas is one of the leading investigators on forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners. Basically, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been harvesting organs from prisoners or those sentenced to death. This has been happening since the 1980s and it’s actually legal in China. However, after the persecution of Falun Gong started in 1999, there was a massive increase in organ transplants.Chinese hospitals started doing way more transplants, and this aligns perfectly with the timeline of the persecution of Falun Gong. When hundreds of thousands, or maybe even millions, of people were sent to detention and concentration camps, the world mostly turned a blind eye. In 2006, news about organ harvesting started to emerge with the Huffington Post’s reporting. Many people were skeptical at first, but over the years, more and more evidence has emerged, and gradually people started to believe it. In 2019, an independent investigation called the China Tribunal was held in London, led by Sir Geoffrey Nice, the lead prosecutor in the Milosevic trial in the 1990s. The China Tribunal spent a year studying all the evidence on forced organ harvesting. In 2019, they concluded that forced organ harvesting has been occurring on a significant scale in China for a long time, with Falun Gong being the primary source of organs. |
