China reportedly plans to triple the organs harvested from its Uyghur community. So long as Communist authorities and Han Chinese imperialists want to eliminate the Uyghurs and other regional ethnic groups, they might as well profit from it.

The same pattern applies to adherents of Falun Gong. Chinese doctors sometimes remove organs while individuals are still alive, both because Communist authorities fear the spiritual movement and because adherents’ clean living makes their organs prized. In effect, contemporary China’s mercantilist approach to its prisoners’ bodies is even greater than the Nazis, who regularly sold the hair of Jewish women for industrial purposes or sold cadavers of political prisoners to university anatomy labs.
