The Chinese communist regime’s mass killing of prisoners of conscience for their organs is a “tool of genocide,” according to Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.).
Beijing’s forced organ harvesting involves “the execution of people declared enemies of the state, as if on order to provide certain organs to meet transplant needs,” he said. “This is also an apparent form of punishment, and indeed a tool of genocide meant to cull minority populations deemed ‘undesirable’ by the state.”
Smith made the remarks at a May 12 hearing of the House’s Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission to explore evidence of China’s organ harvesting. The Republican from New Jersey is a co-chair of the commission.
