      I would kill for the wage increases the average Chinese person has seen over the last decade.

          Immigrants to China can’t become citizens FYI. Dumb argument.

          Average white guy in a Chinese city lives the life.

          The real problem is in some of the poorer rural areas and low-tier cities.

      Fun fact: The waiting time for organ transplants in China is about an order of magnitude shorter than in the rest of the world. This is purely because of China’s large population and not because of any other reason at all.

        I thought it because China have organ black market. But it is totally false news. Thank you for your clarification

          High quality uyghur organs sourced directly from healthy, if not a bit rebellious, individuals. Might be slightly cursed by the ghost of the original owner though.

          I can’t believe people are willing to put an organ from a person specifically murdered for said organ. I’d rather die than live with that.

              There are plenty of testimonies and allegations if you search the internet:

                Falun Gong is a cult that believes that following their religion makes your body physically healthier because it aligns the metaphysical energies of your body in a special way. This they say means they have the juciest most bestest organs that the Chinese government wants because they’re the BEST GOD DAMN ORGANS around, which is why they actively spread this myth. All of your above sources cite the Falun Gong, or claim that it happened to the Falun Gong such as in your second link:

                “Usually these Falun Gong practitioners were injected with a shot to cause heart failure. During the process these people would be pushed into operating rooms to have their organs removed,”

                I strongly urge you to watch this video. It is not a pro-china source, it is a liberal source. I think you might come away from it with many questions and when you start realising that literally every single one of these is coming from, or about, or linked to falun gong in some way it becomes impossible to ignore what the source is.

                  Wow, this is a rabbit hole and a half. I really can’t agree with you though that all those sources are from the Falun Gong, as many of them talk about this same practice being performed on Uyghurs. Also many of those sources are from doctors who performed the harvests, not from Falun Gong members talking about how it’s happening. A lot of the evidence is circumstantial, pointing to the fact that the Chinese transplant industry boomed in the early 2000s with no real explanation of where all these organs came from. There are no corresponding increases in voluntary donations, and the speed at which these organs are delivered suggests a sort of on demand execution and harvest system.

                  It’s important to note, the Falun Gong being a cult really doesn’t have any bearing on whether or not China is executing political dissidents for organs to fuel their massive transplant industry. Both “the Falun Gong is a crazy cult” and “China is executing prisoners and selling their organs” can be true.

                Citing Falun Gong for anything is like citing Scientology for anything. In fact, Scientology is probably more legitimately useful to society.

                FWIW Falun Gong advocates for supporting Trump and is anti-vaccine.

                  Wait, I feel like I missed something here. You surely don’t meant just because falun gong is a cult it justifies the all those killing and organ harvesting?

                  I guess we have a different opinion on what constitutes “conspiracy theory garbage”. When multiple reliable sources, including various government agencies, raised the same issue, I think that’s a good enough signal to indicate that the issue is not “conspiracy theory garbage”. I’m actually interested to know why you think the organ harvesting issue is a conspiracy garbage?

    How are their internet boards looking? I’ve noticed a kind of weird way to tell what’s going on on the street is to observe actions of the population. Brazil has a very high youth unemployment. Most of the edge lord NEET boards are full of Brazilian kids.

    I wonder how this compares to other countries when you use the same broader definition. The article only compared it to overall US unemployment which is useless to be honest.
