Day: March 6, 2026

For twenty years, I’ve investigated a crime almost too horrific to name—now documented in my new book: “Killed to Order: China’s Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America’s Biggest Adversary.” In America and other free countries, patients wait months or even years for an organ. But in China, transplant wait lists are measured in weeks—or even days. In this episode, the tables are turned, and I’m in the guest seat this time. I invited my good friend, actor and comedian Rob Schneider, who has become deeply personally invested in this issue, to be the guest host for this special episode. This is the dark reality: When someone decides to go to China and pay a hefty sum for a scheduled transplant, then on the other side, an incarcerated prisoner of conscience, who has already been blood-typed and tissue-typed, is likely being killed to order. China’s transplant industry began its exponential expansion at the exact same time as the state launched its aggressive, nationwide campaign to eradicate the spiritual practice of Falun Gong. There is growing evidence of Uyghurs being targeted as well. There is even an underground global market for what are called “Halal organs,” which means organs from Muslim donors. And it’s not just wealthy foreigners who travel to China for organ transplants. China’s super elite have access to a secretive longevity program dubbed “Project 981” with eerie ties to this macabre organ industry. This project entered the spotlight last year after the revealing hot mic exchange between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, where they talked about extending lifespans in part through repeated organ transplants. American institutions have, wittingly or unwittingly, helped facilitate the rise of China’s transplant system through partnerships with Chinese transplant centers, the training of hundreds of Chinese surgeons, and the supply of China’s organ preservation solutions, surgical instruments, immunosuppressive drugs, and transplant diagnostics. The stories I share in this episode are disturbing, but we cannot afford to look away. Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

After the U.S.-Israeli strike killed Khamenei, Tehran erupted not in fear but in celebration: fireworks, dancing, headscarves torn off, and chants of “I love Trump.” Polls reveal massive rejection—70% oppose the Islamic Republic’s existence, 89% want democracy, support for the Supreme Leader below 11%, and 92% dissatisfied with the regime. Recent protests met brutal crackdowns (thousands killed), internet blackout, and a legitimacy collapse. This mirrors the CCP: ideological rule, parallel armies, economic woes, youth despair, and truth-blocking. Iran’s clerical regime lost ideological and performance legitimacy; China’s relies on economic gains now eroding fast. Reza Pahlavi positions for transition, but power struggles loom among Guard remnants, the regular army, and scattered street forces. Iran’s fall warns Beijing: performance legitimacy expires, and when a regime becomes the people’s enemy, external blows can spark joy, not resistance. Xi should watch closely—dictators rarely are the exception.

Did Iran’s leadership strike trigger a new wave of fear inside Beijing? As tensions rise, a troubling question may be circulating around Zhongnanhai: who can Xi Jinping still trust? Recent events in the Middle East—and a bold CIA recruitment campaign targeting Chinese officials—have intensified concerns about spies, insiders, and defections within the Communist Party. At the same time, unusual moves inside China’s leadership circle are drawing attention. Reports suggest increased scrutiny around key figures, including ideological strategist Wang Huning, Public Security Minister Wang Xiaohong, and State Security Minister Chen Yixin. In this program, we explore how global shocks and internal suspicion may be fueling a growing spy hunt inside the CCP’s highest ranks.

A comment addressing widespread concerns: The Pentagon’s No. 3 official says the strikes on Iran will not drain munitions needed for any Taiwan contingency, and that the United States is still laser-focused on the Indo-Pacific. Iranian air defense systems are made up of Chinese and Russian equipment, and they failed to defend against strikes by Israel and the United States. We take a closer look. To discuss, a former U.S. defense attaché in Beijing and a former assistant secretary of state weigh in. The stage is set for China’s biggest annual political event in Beijing. What’s on the CCP’s 2026–2030 agenda, and what’s in the new five-year plan aimed at competing with the United States? We bring you the highlights. Protests, largely driven by social injustice and financial hardship, continue to break out across China amid a slowing Chinese economy. And in London, a woman holding a banner describing Beijing’s decades-long persecution of her faith, Falun Gong, is brutally assaulted by a male bus driver. She shares her insight into what may be behind the violence. 00:00 Intro 01:18 Pentagon: Iran War Will Not Affect Munitions for Taiwan 02:54 Report: Defense Systems From China, Russia Fail in Iran 05:17 Allies Back U.S. in Warning to China 06:23 China Unlikely to Back Iran Beyond Own Interests 07:48 China’s Oil Dilemma After U.S.-Israeli Strikes on Iran 10:50 Chinese FM: “Indiscriminate Use of Force” Unacceptable 11:39 Spotlight on China’s New Five-Year Plan 12:07 What Are China’s “Two Sessions”? 12:23 China’s 2026 Agenda and Five-Year Plan 14:52 Protests Across China as Beijing Holds Major Event 16:36 CCP’s Annual Meeting to Unveil Tech Race Road Map 19:04 Police Probe Assault on Faith Group Adherent in London 21:55 London Police Arrest 3 on Suspicion of Spying for China

A middle-school dropout from Fujian becomes the mastermind behind one of the world’s largest telecom-fraud empires. Chen Zhi, chairman of Cambodia’s Prince Group, built a vast network of scam compounds across Southeast Asia—laundering billions through crypto while tens of thousands of trafficked workers were forced to run online fraud operations. In 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice indicted him in a sweeping cybercrime case and seized billions in assets. But before he could face a U.S. courtroom, Cambodia abruptly stripped his citizenship and sent him back to China. Why did Beijing move so quickly to reclaim him? The rise and fall of Chen Zhi exposes the darker side of Belt and Road capital, organized crime, and the political protection behind Asia’s scam-park industry.

The U.S. Army’s Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon, better known as Dark Eagle, just made its overseas debut at Exercise Talisman Sabre in Australia — and China is not happy about it. Dark Eagle is a new hypersonic missile designed to hit targets more than 1,700 miles away at speeds over Mach 5, giving the Army a way to punch through heavily defended airspace in minutes. After years of development, though, it only has two very recent successful test fires. So why is China so worried about it? From northern Australia, Dark Eagle can put major Chinese outposts in range. Even without a live fire, just showing up in Australia was enough to trigger warnings about destabilization and escalation.
