    Let's see...

    The paper's front page is absolutely littered with pro-Trump posts including one called "A Tribute to Donald Trump", as well as having a huge anti-China bent in everything. Their stated goal is to "Lead the conversation" in regards to China. They're part of something called The Trust Project, which is a neolib think-tank that includes other rags like The Economist, The Toronto Star, and the WaPo. The story uncritically links Falun Gong stories in it, even though Falun Gong has whole-cloth fabricated the organ harvesting stories. The author's entire body of work is overwhelmingly anti-China.

    I don't doubt that this happened, but it was very likely to just be a few black market types rather than some nefarious CCP plot to harvest organs from random people.

        Apparently they claim that their "practicioners" are targeted for organ harvesting at higher rates than anyone else, because all the meditation makes them supernaturally healthy. No, I'm not kidding.
