I'm not very informed on modern China and there's a ton of sources accusing China of killing and even harvesting organs from Uyghurs and Falun Gong believers.

Is there any truth to those claims or is it all pigpoop ?

    Uyghurs and the places they live are heavily surveilled, and rather than their schools being a more organic entity the state has a pretty heavy hand in running them. Anything beyond that is just a distortion mirror.

    Practicioners of Falun Dafa are in prison or in exile or in secret, where they belong.

      What’s an organic school? Like privately owned or state-run, but contracting from private corporations?

        I think they instead mean that it's controlled by national PRC administration and not regional or local administration. Regional or local is "organic" I guess for some reason.

      I mean, we did pay some for some of those guys to train with al kaida. Who we created to fight comunists. So there is a bunch of stuff going on with this one being all made up.

      Libs are just mad that they can only make witty, navel-gazing videos about Scientology instead of asking their government to actually do something to prevent an insane cult from harming people.
