The Chinese government said that "such incidents never happen in China" and that any violations of Chinese law would be punished.

With the tape rolling, Wang eagerly showed him official-looking documents stating he had been a prosecutor on Hainan Island in southern China. He assured Wu that he had attended numerous executions and could coordinate the extraction of body parts from 50 of the 200 prisoners killed on Hainan each year...
