ep. Chris Smith testified that ‘Every year, under General Secretary Xi Jinping and his Chinese Communist Party, between 60,000 to 100,000 young victims — average age 28 — are murdered in cold blood to steal their internal organs.’
In an overwhelming vote of 413-2, the U.S. House of Representatives on Monday passed bill HR 1154, authored by Republican Rep. Chris Smith, co-chair of the Congressional Executive Commission on China, to enact measures opposing the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) appalling industry of harvesting organs from young people while still alive and killing them horrifically in the process.
Targeted groups include Falun Gong practitioners, Uyghurs and other Central Asians detained by the Communist regime in concentration camps. Smith’s bill must now pass the Senate and go through the White House to become law.
On the House floor, Smith testified that “Every year, under General Secretary Xi Jinping and his Chinese Communist Party, between 60,000 to 100,000 young victims — average age 28 — are murdered in cold blood to steal their internal organs.”
“These crimes against humanity are unimaginable,” Smith declared. “Ethnic groups targeted for mass harvesting include Uyghurs — who suffer from Xi Jinping’s ongoing genocide — and the Falun Gong, whose peaceful meditation and exercise practices — and exceptional good health — make their organs highly desirable. The Chinese Communist Party has declared them to be an ‘evil cult’ — fit for butchering.”
Last year, Smith led a chilling hearing exposing the CCP’s forced organ harvesting of prisoners while still alive. At the hearing, a Chinese doctor testified how under police orders he had performed one such surgery on a victim of a failed execution and discovered in mid-operation, as he began cutting, that the victim was in a state of shock, not dead, and that he was performing a vivisection on a living man.
