NTD tells the story of Chinese lawyer and democracy activist Ding Jiaxi, how he gave up a comfortable life to pursue what looks like mission impossible, and what he and his family had to endure for the rights that many outside of China take for granted.

For decades, Chinese authorities have been obtaining organs from executed prisoners and selling them to patients. Human rights activists and medical experts have long condemned the practice. But the Chinese regime didn’t admit to it until 2005, when even more serious allegations emerged that Beijing is forcibly harvesting organs from prisoners of conscience.

Despite its efforts, the Chinese regime is less likely to challenge the U.S. dollar’s dominance. At least, anytime soon. That’s according to a new report from Taiwan’s Central bank. It says that’s because the regime lacks key conditions. They’re needed to make the Chinese Yuan a global currency, like the dollar.
