Did Wang Lijun Give Organ Harvesting Evidence to US?

A colleague recently asked  me whether I thought the documents Wan Lijun handed over at the U.S.  Consulate in Chengdu included specific information about live organ  harvesting from Falun  Dafa practitioners.
I must admit, although I  have read all kinds of speculations regarding the papers Wan Lijun  gave to the U.S. Consulate officials, I have never pondered this  issue. But faced with my colleague’s direct question, my  immediate response was, yes!   
Reflecting  for a moment, I explained to him why I thought this to be very  likely.
When he exited the U.S.  Consulate on Feb. 7, Wang Lijun made a few statements, one of them  was “yusiwangpo,” meaning: “fish dies and net  breaks simultaneously.” 
If the documents were only  about Bo Xilai’s alleged corruption and treason, would Bo and  Wang be targets of “yusiwangpo”--simultaneous  destruction? No! Those types of crimes would not be big enough to  merit such punishment. 
From the United States’  perspective, matters of embezzlement, who is in power, or who  revolted, are all China’s internal affairs. Once the United  States has established diplomatic relations with a nation and  recognizes a country or a regime, it will generally not get involved  in the internal affairs of that country. In such a case, Wang’s  documents would not evoke his prediction of “yusiwangpo.”
However, if the papers are  related to organ harvesting, which is a crime against humanity, and  the United States made it public, then it really would be a life and  death issue not only for Bo and Wang, but also for the Chinese  Communist regime.
If such a crime were indeed  confirmed and understood by the world, Communist China would be  finished, with no moral foundation to stand on.
After this explanation, my  colleague asked me why the United States government hasn’t  publicized the information, if such documents do exist.
Looking at it from another  angle we have to ask, what would be the consequences if the United  States made the announcement? 
It would first of all mean  that the United States recognized and accepted the evidence and was  willing to endorse it. Furthermore, faced with such crimes against  humanity, the United States would then be under moral obligation to  take immediate actions against such crimes.
Is the United States  government ready to do this? It is hard to say. By not making an  announcement, the United States could wait and would not need to  carry out its obligatory duty. 
It could be aptly said that  facing such a big issue, the United States has to take a cautious  approach. It may think that it’s better to let Communist China  deal with it through infighting, whereby the United States would  save itself a lot of trouble.
A Crime Too Terrible to Believe
Perhaps a government is  similar to an individual. A few years ago, when the allegations of  live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners emerged, I  myself didn’t want to believe it, and dared not believe it. It  was too terrible and outrageous. At the same time, if I chose to  believe the veracity of the accusation, I would instantly be faced  with a moral responsibility and with the question of what I should  do to stop the flagrant crime. Therefore, choosing to disbelieve,  and to even self-righteously accuse Falun Gong practitioners of  spreading rumors would have been much easier.
It is noteworthy that many  ordinary people, based on their own feelings and notions, have  rejected the organ harvesting allegations from Falun Gong  practitioners. But medical experts did not need help to be  convinced, as they themselves were able to reach their own  conclusions. 
I have had the chance to  come in contact with two imminent medical doctors, who have found  such claims not inconceivable.
Prof. Arthur Caplan, the  director of the Bioethics Center at Pennsylvania University, who was  named one of the 10 most influential and internationally famous  scientists by “Discover” magazine, said in a recent  interview that to find a liver within three weeks--which many  hospitals in China, especially military hospitals, have once  advertised to attract clients--could only be done through killing on  demand. In the U.S., Australia, and other countries, it generally  takes many years, even more than 10 years, to find a suitable organ,  he said.

In a  speech on March 13, at the College of Physicians in  Philadelphia, Dr. Caplan said: “Particularly for transplant  tourists, if you go to China, and you are going to get a liver  transplant operation during the three weeks you are there, that  means someone is going to schedule an execution, blood type and  tissue type the potential executees, and have them ready to go  before you need to leave. I mean, you are not going to get a three  weeks wait time just waiting for someone to die in prison that  matches your biology. You will have to find them and kill them  whilst the tourist is still there. So that’s kill on demand.”
The other prominent doctor  is Dr. Yaacov J. Lavi, a member of the International Consultant  Committee of Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting and head of the  transplant department at the Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer,  Israel. 
David Kilgour, the co-author  of the book “Bloody  Harvest,” and I visited Dr. Lavi in 2008. Dr. Lavi said he  was aware of the serious problem in China even before the news about  live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners was made public.  One of his patients needed a heart transplant and had been on a  waiting list for more than one year. One day this patient told Dr.  Lavi that he had found a heart supply source in China and was  scheduled for a transplant.
Dr. Lavi told us that it  gave him the chills when he heard that. Since a donor heart can only  survive outside the body for four or five hours, it meant the  Chinese hospital was capable of “foreseeing” or  “planning” when a donor heart would be available. But  how could this be possible when organs are donated following the  donor’s natural death? How was it possible that the blood type  of a donor, who had just died, perfectly matched that of the living  recipient in need of a transplant? 
With such firsthand  experience, Dr. Lavi became deeply convinced of the authenticity of  the subsequently released allegations that the Chinese Communist  regime is harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners. Dr. Lavi  has become an active advocate against forced organ harvesting. He  also helped translate the “Report Into Allegations of Organ  Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners in China”  <http://organharvestinvestigation.net/> by  David Matas and David Kilgour, into Hebrew. As a result of Dr.  Lavi’s and other people’s efforts, since 2008 the  Israeli government has stopped paying for organ transplant  operations performed in China for Israeli citizens.
Seeking the People’s Forgiveness
My colleague nodded when  hearing my explanations and said: “Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao  should grasp this golden opportunity to expose the truth about the  persecution of Falun Gong  practitioners and live organ harvesting to the public and bring  those directly responsible to justice. If they do that, they will  win the people’s hearts. Otherwise, they may not get another  chance to fulfill their historic responsibility, and what’s  more, they may be condemned by history. 
I told my colleague that it  is possible that Prime Minister Wen Jiabao also knows this; why else  did he recently make the statement about “seeking the people’s  forgiveness.” In addition, Baidu recently unblocked several  highly sensitive search terms related to the Falun Gong spiritual  group, including “live organ harvesting,” “Zhuan  Falun” [the main book by Falun Gong founder Li Hongzhi],  “Shen  Yun” [a performing arts company from New York]. This is  surely an unusual phenomenon. 
If the Internet blockade  were really removed, allowing the Chinese people access to the whole  truth, the disintegration of the Chinese Communist regime may just  happen overnight and without a life and death struggle.
The Chinese people will  still be here when the Communist Party is gone. But in the future  society ruled by law, each person shall have to bear legal  responsibility for what he or she has done in the past. 
There is another saying  Chinese people used to believe in, “The net of heaven has  large meshes, but it lets nothing through.”
