> China's long-term dependence on executed prisoners as organ donors will end at the start of next year, according to a high-ranking official.

My understanding is the debates are over whether or not it still happens and to what extent political prisoners (particularly Falun Gong members) were victims.
It was wrong when we did the same here in the USA with Japanese Americans (George Takei wrote about his time there) and we should not normalize this mass imprisonment without individual right to fair trial.
Just because China calls everything it dislikes “propaganda” doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
According to the statistics, the deceased organ donation rate in China currently is only about 0.6/1,000,000 China citizens, one of the lowest in the world. The sad truth is that there are about 1 to 1.5 million people in China needing organ transplant every year and only 10,000 people can get a new organ successfully[0]
Edit: spelling
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Most organisations worldwide, are openly anti-communist, except those that explicitly support dictatorship and human rights abuse.
I guess that's a good thing.
I don't understand why Americans still cling to this villain. It's 2023, the USSR collapsed 30 years ago.

So communism clearly isn’t the issue.
Except its not; the 13th amendment allows, and several states have institutionalized, involuntary servitude of prisoners.
> I agree they should be paid more though.
In addition to not always being voluntary, it is also not always paid at all.
