I don't know much about the details of Falun Gong, but my points of view could represent quite a few people in China.
1. I've seen some video clips Li Hongzhi, head of Falun Gong, made for his followers. Full of crap like "I'm the avatar of buddha, believe in me and practice Falun Gong, you will be healthy, happy and go to heaven." To me, Falun Gong is a cult. ("cult" maybe a little too negative. I don't know the exact word to describe it)
2. About live harvest donation, I downloaded a report written by two US lawers from the official website of Falun Gong(banned in China. I know some tricks to get me through). The report pretends to be objective, but the accusation is based on guess/induction. To me, it's more like a sentimental portray of evil communist party than a objective report.
3. Possibility of live harvest donation (my judgement/guess)
small scale 60%
large scale 5%
You said there is strong evidence, so my estimate may be a little ridiculous.
4. If live havrest donation existed, who to blame? Communist party? Central Government?
Believe me, such horrible things(if they existed) have nothing to do with central government. No government will allow things like this, because such atrocity undermines the foundation of the whole society.
Based on my experience, if there is live harvest donation, it should be related to the corruption of local prison or police(esp rural areas), gansters, human organ trafficking group.
The central government at that time may not even know, province or local governments surely would choose to cover such a disgraceful crime.
5. Why Li Hongzhi or Falun Gong keeps accusing communist party or central government? First, the central government banned Falun Gong. Second, is there any other way more convenient to get support in US?
6. My grandfather in law was once a Falun Gong learner. Never heard of any Falun Gong followers put in prison in Shanghai. However, there is a high possibility that dedicated Falun Gong followers were treated unfairly in some less developed areas.
If you know Chinese, you could visit the Chinese language wiki site of Falun Gong (banned in China)
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B3%...BD%AE%E5%8A%9F Note: not english wiki of Falun Gong, they are different!
I get the link from google. I think it's relatively objective. It will tell you the chronicle of Falun Gong and how it was banned in China.
