If you aren't already aware, the Falun Gong are a cult. Like a true proper cult. I would not take their word on this one, especially considering their associates.
Lemmy.ml moment

No he's actually right about this one, I had to check
Them being fanatics doesn't make China executing people for organ harvesting on demand anything more OK and this information was rumored way before that statemen, even with HK Protesters.
The .ml troll is wanting to discredit the backed allegations of this.
Nobody said it makes it okay to do that, but that does thoroughly discredit this particular source, quite obviously
Not really, even fanatics can tell the truth about oppression.
...can anything discredit a source more than what I linked??
"Led by Li Hongzhi, who is viewed by adherents as a deity-like figure, Falun Gong practitioners operate a variety of organizations in the United States and elsewhere, including the dance troupe Shen Yun.[14][15] They are known for their opposition to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), espousing anti-evolutionary views, opposition to homosexuality and feminism, and rejection of modern medicine, among other views described as "ultra-conservative".[16][24]"
of course it's possible, but they have no credibility at all
It obviously makes them look like clowns, wich they are, however in the great scheme of thing's regarding China this claim fits not just right in but also is backed by several other things like that China is testing drugs and possibly bio weapons in their concentration camps
Wow.

Not like its common ground that they do that.
