According to a report by Guancha.cn on January 23, the Tianjin Municipal Health Commission announced on January 20 that six government departments, including the Tianjin Health Commission, have issued two new regulations which took effect on February 1, 2025:
- “Implementation Rules for Organ Donation Procurement Fees and Financial Management in Tianjin (Trial)”
- “Fee Standards for Organ Donation Procurement in Tianjin (Trial)”
The second regulation explicitly lists the prices for human donor organs, including:
- Liver: ¥250,000 (US$34,000)
- Kidney: ¥200,000
- Pancreas: ¥50,000
- Heart: ¥80,000
- Cornea: ¥12,000
- Lungs: ¥60,000
- Small intestine: ¥40,000
The announcement sparked concern and skepticism among Chinese netizens, some of whom made reference to the CCP’s history of harvesting organs from religious minorities and political prisoners of conscience.
