Re: Statement on visit to Canada by China's Commerce Minister Bo Xilai posted by Al Gordon
The US State Department investigated the allegations of organ harvesting of Falun Gong followers and found no evidence to support the allegations. I know that two Canadians, at the request of a Falun Gong organization, did their own "investigation" (they did not visit China) but their report, which concludes that the allegations are likely true, is not rigorous or convincing. The US has been quite aggressive at promoting religious freedom, even relatively new religions that could be labelled cults, in other countries. They have worked to convince Germany that Scientology should be considered a religion and not a cult (unsuccessfully as far as I know). I don't see why the US would collude with China regarding Falun Gong.
