# Killed to Order *By Jan Jekielek, with forewords by Amb. Sam Brownback and Dr. Joseph Varon. Subtitle: China's Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary. New York: Skyhorse Publishing, 17 March 2026. Hardcover ISBN 978-1-5107-8650-9. An Epoch Times senior editor, and host of* American Thought Leaders, *makes the case that China's Communist Party (CCP) has for two decades killed prisoners of conscience, chiefly Falun Gong practitioners and later Uyghurs and others, to supply organs "to order". He then uses that charge as a lens on the CCP as a whole and on the West's dealings with it.* > **What I actually read.** The book is in copyright (© 2026). There is no legal free copy and no Google preview, and I did not read it. The **table of contents** comes from the hardcover's contents list as given in a public library catalog (Boulder Public Library, via Flatirons Library) and from Perlego's ebook contents, which adds the two appendices. **Chapter start pages** come from the contents listing on Google Books. The **chapter descriptions** are built from (a) a book excerpt that Skyhorse supplied to RealClearInvestigations (10 April 2026) and that *The Middle Land* reprinted, and (b) reviews that summarize or quote the book. The fullest chapter-by-chapter account is Robert Malone's review for *The Epoch Times*, written before publication. Most coverage of the book so far comes from the author's own employer (*The Epoch Times*) or from sympathetic outlets, and I found **no review in a mainstream newspaper or scholarly journal**. Anything in quotation marks is quoted as the named source quotes it. I give no page numbers except the chapter start pages from Google Books.

Author biography **Jan Jekielek** was born in Canada to Polish immigrants and studied evolutionary biology at the University of Alberta ([PragerU presenter page](https://www.prageru.com/presenters/jan-jekielek)). According to the citation for his 2026 Prize of Excellence from the Association and Club of Foreign Press Correspondents USA, he was studying the evolutionary biology of lemurs in Madagascar when he was "exposed to the realities of human rights violations in China". He then worked with "an underground railroad helping Chinese dissidents escape through the Golden Triangle to Thailand and ultimately to Western countries", before joining *The Epoch Times*. There he "did some of the earliest reporting on the Chinese regime's continuing practice of forced organ harvesting" ([AFPC-USA](https://foreignpresscorrespondents.org/2026-prize-of-excellence-jan-jekielek)). I could not independently verify these early-career details. He has worked with *The Epoch Times* for more than 20 years and is now a senior editor. *Epoch Times* articles also call him its Washington bureau chief. He hosts *American Thought Leaders*, a long-form interview show on which, by his outlet's count, he has interviewed nearly a thousand people ([Epoch Times author page](https://www.theepochtimes.com/author/jan-jekielek)). As a documentary maker he produced *The Unseen Crisis* (on COVID-19 vaccine injuries), *DeSantis: Florida vs. Lockdowns*, *The Newlyweds* and the Holocaust documentary *Finding Manny* (AFPC-USA; Epoch Times). *Killed to Order* is his first book. *The Epoch Times* reports that he is himself a Falun Gong practitioner ([Epoch Times, March 2026](https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/atl-host-jan-jekielek-launches-new-book-killed-to-order-exposing-ccps-organ-harvesting-5998436)). *The Epoch Times* was founded in 2000 by Falun Gong practitioners. A 2019 NBC News investigation described the paper's close ties to the movement and the influence of the movement's views on its coverage; the paper denies being funded by Falun Gong or speaking for it ([NBC News, 2019](https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/trump-qanon-impending-judgment-day-behind-facebook-fueled-rise-epoch-n1044121); [Epoch Times response](https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/our-response-to-nbc-news-inappropriate-questions-2971493)). Readers should keep that background in mind: the author is both a reporter on this issue and a member of the main group he says is targeted. There is no Wikipedia article on him. ## 4. Author interviews and talks - **EpochTV, *American Thought Leaders*, "Matched and 'Killed to Order': Inside the CCP's Dark Organ Industry", with guest host Rob Schneider (5 March 2026)**: [episode](https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/matched-and-killed-to-order-inside-the-ccps-dark-organ-industry-with-guest-host-rob-schneider-5992135) ([write-up](https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/atl-host-jan-jekielek-launches-new-book-killed-to-order-exposing-ccps-organ-harvesting-5998436)).

I found no recordings. ## 5. Summary **Thesis.** The publisher frames the book around a question: "What if everything you need to understand about the Chinese Communist Party—and how the free world should respond to it—could be explained through this one issue?" ([Skyhorse](https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/9781510786509/killed-to-order/)). The book makes two claims. **First, the CCP runs an industrial-scale "kill-to-order" transplant system.** On this account it grew out of the 1984 rules permitting organ use from executed prisoners. From 2000 it was fed by the mass imprisonment of Falun Gong practitioners, and it later took in Uyghurs and others. Detainees are blood-tested and matched, then killed when a paying recipient needs an organ. As Jekielek summarizes in interviews, the estimate is 60,000 to 90,000 transplants a year by the end of the 2000s, which he calls "the best estimate" while conceding "it's very hard to estimate" ([Epoch Times](https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/atl-host-jan-jekielek-launches-new-book-killed-to-order-exposing-ccps-organ-harvesting-5998436)). **Second, this crime shows what the CCP is.** It is a utilitarian, totalitarian system that "instrumentalizes everything", makes everyone complicit (Western elites, institutions and transplant medicine included), and treats America as a zero-sum enemy. The book ends with policy remedies. Jekielek's account of how the system arose, as the MAHA Report quotes it: "In many ways, China's organ-harvesting industry grew out of the natural instincts of a totalitarian system: survival, subjugation, control, and instrumentalization. There was no grand plan at the beginning, only a series of perverse incentives that evolved into something monstrous." **Outline (Skyhorse, 2026).** Chapter titles are from the library catalog contents note. Start pages are from Google Books, which truncates some titles and gives no page for ch. 8 or Appendix 1. Descriptions follow Malone's review ([Epoch Times, 22 January 2026](https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/book-review-killed-to-order-5974256)) unless another source is named. Malone reviewed a pre-publication copy, and his chapter titles differ slightly from the printed ones. *Forewords* by Sam Brownback and Joseph Varon. Varon writes that physicians must remember why consent matters and "why life cannot be reduced to parts", and that "This book ensures that we cannot say we did not know" (quoted by the MAHA Report). *Introduction: The "China Option".* An illustrative (Malone: "fictionalized") Western patient facing a long transplant wait learns of the quick "China option", and only later of where the organ came from. The introduction compares disbelief about the charges to early disbelief about the Holocaust. Malone quotes its closing assessment: "There are still many unanswered questions about China's forced organ harvesting industry… We know for certain that Falun Gong, Uyghurs, and other groups are still being targeted… At the end of the day, that is what this is: a crime against humanity, and we must not allow ourselves to forget the human element." Whether this passage closes the introduction or a later section is my reading of Malone and is unverified. **Part I: A New Form of Evil** - **Ch. 1, A Rumor So Extreme It's Hard to Believe (p. 1).** Jekielek's own route into the story, starting with the 2006 *Epoch Times* reports about Sujiatun in Shenyang. "Annie", the ex-wife of a surgeon, says her husband removed corneas from living Falun Gong practitioners and that the site held up to 6,000 detainees at its peak. A military doctor alleges a network of 36 similar camps. Then come the first independent investigators, David Kilgour and David Matas (2006 report). - **Ch. 2, A Long History of Murder (p. 23).** CCP mass killing from the Great Leap Forward (Malone: 45 million deaths) and the Cultural Revolution onward. Forced organ harvesting is presented as the continuation of that pattern, from political campaigns to killing for profit, with prisoner organ use dating to the 1980s. - **Ch. 3, The CCP Instrumentalizes Everything (p. 31).** Total party control. The 610 Office, created in 1999 to eradicate Falun Gong. Hospitals as instruments of repression, and detention-center blood tests as matching for a "living organ bank". The published excerpt fits here (my inference): China's two-tier health system as "a literal life-extension industry for the Party elite"; "utilitarian bioethics" against the Hippocratic tradition; zero-COVID lockdowns; the one-child policy (1979–2015) as "a deliberate, decades long war on the traditional Chinese family"; and forced labor, from the laogai to Xinjiang factories. "The CCP doesn't see its citizens as individuals with inherent dignity, but rather as raw material" ([excerpt via The Middle Land](https://themiddleland.com/book-excerpt-killed-to-order-chinas-organ-harvesting-industry-and-the-true-nature-of-americas-biggest-adversary/)). - **Ch. 4, What Targeting Falun Gong Reveals About the Nature of the CCP (p. 41).** What Falun Gong is (qigong exercises; truthfulness, compassion, forbearance) and its growth to tens of millions of practitioners by 1999. Jiang Zemin's "evil cult" campaign. Practitioners' clean living made them prized "donors", and those who refused to renounce were killed. Gutmann's estimates are cited. *The Interim* quotes the book on the campaign to eradicate Falun Gong "through 'reeducation' if possible, and through murder when not." - **Ch. 5, The Evidence and the Road to Get There (p. 57).** The core of the evidence. It opens with Cheng Pei Ming, described as the first known survivor: a Falun Gong practitioner operated on without consent in 2004 and 2006 who later escaped and had the removals confirmed by imaging in the US in 2020. A timeline follows: the 1984 regulations; 1994 Uyghur extractions; short wait times in 2005; Sujiatun and Kilgour–Matas in 2006; *Bloody Harvest* (2009); *State Organs* (2012); Gutmann's *The Slaughter* (2014); the 2016 update (60,000–100,000 transplants a year); a 2017 Korean hidden-camera exposé; a 2018 China Organ Harvest Research Center report; the China Tribunal (judgment 2019–2020); UN experts (2021); a Global Rights Compliance advisory (2022); a 2024 DAFOH report; and Matthew Robertson's 2025 thesis on "extractive repression". - **Ch. 6, Why Communist Systems—and the CCP in Particular—Enable Forced Organ Harvesting (p. 79).** Chenggang Xu's model of "regionally administered totalitarianism": the centre sets direction and local officials compete to deliver. *The Interim* quotes: the Party "sets strategic direction" and "regional and local officials then compete to implement the strategy, each trying to outperform the others". Also Harrison Koehli on "pathocracy", John Lenczowski on operational communism, and dehumanization as a step before mass incarceration and databases. - **Ch. 7, Make Everyone Complicit—Including Your Adversaries (p. 93).** "Rob, replicate, replace". A critique of the "Kissinger Doctrine" and of Wall Street listings of Chinese state-owned enterprises (Malone: "$7 trillion to $12 trillion in transfers"). Fentanyl and elite co-option as "people's war". **Part II: The Global Implications of China's Forced Organ Harvesting Industry (p. 103)** - **Ch. 8, Zero Sum—How the CCP Perceives America.** America as the main adversary and a "hundred-year marathon" to 2049, drawing on Michael Pillsbury's *The Hundred-Year Marathon*. - **Ch. 9, Unrestricted Warfare (and the Three Warfares) (p. 119).** The 1999 PLA *Unrestricted Warfare* doctrine; public-opinion, psychological and legal warfare; examples include TikTok and the WTO; military–civil fusion. - **Ch. 10, The Magic Weapon (p. 129).** The United Front Work Department: overseas "police stations", transnational repression of Falun Gong-linked media (*The Epoch Times*, Shen Yun), and smears of survivors such as Cheng. - **Ch. 11, Transnational Cooperation, Corruption, and Coercion (p. 141).** The WHO, Huang Jiefu's partnerships with The Transplantation Society, and Vatican endorsement of China's reforms, presented as legitimizing abuse. - **Ch. 12, Fatal Attraction: How the US Perceives the CCP (p. 151).** The belief that the CCP could be reformed; Lee Smith's "Thirty Tyrants" argument about elite capture; dependence on China for rare earths and medicines. - **Ch. 13, Opportunity for People in China? (p. 163).** Little room for change from within. The Tuidang ("quit the Party") movement's claimed 455–456 million-plus renunciations, and middle-class erosion after the property collapse. - **Ch. 14, Legislating Against Evil (p. 171).** State laws barring insurance payment for transplants in China (six states, per Malone); the federal Falun Gong Protection Act and Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act; HHS penalties; prosecuting organ tourism; grassroots action. *Epilogue: It's Not Too Late (p. 179).* The CCP is distinguished from the Chinese people and culture; its crimes are called "anti-China". He warns that utilitarian medical ethics are seeping into Western practice, through medically assisted death and looser donor rules, and calls for moral clarity. *Appendix 1: A Skeptic's Guide to the Evidence.* This is presumably the list of common objections, each with an answer, that Reality Check Radio's reviewer describes ([RCR](https://rcr.media/blog/book-review-killed-to-order-by-jan-jekielek/)). Contents not seen. *Appendix 2: What We Can Do to Confront and End Forced Organ Harvesting in China (p. 191).* Endnotes pp. 201–220. **Key ideas.** - **Kill to order.** Very short, schedulable wait times, of weeks or even days, are the central circumstantial evidence. They imply a pool of living, pre-matched "donors". - **Organ harvesting as a window on the regime.** The book's distinctive framing is that this crime is the clearest view of a system that "instrumentalizes everything". - **Regionally administered totalitarianism.** Atrocity spreads through incentives and local competition rather than through a single master plan. - **Western complicity.** Training of Chinese surgeons, joint research, transplant tourism, and endorsement by international bodies. - **Remedies.** Insurance bans, sanctions and passport revocation, ending professional cooperation, and grassroots pressure. *The Interim*'s reviewer, otherwise approving, calls the faith in a grassroots movement "myopic". **Reception, in brief.** Admiring, from the author's employer and allied or sympathetic outlets: Robert Malone and Adam H. Douglas in *The Epoch Times*; Paul Marshall (Baylor and Hudson) in *Religion Unplugged* ("a persuasive case"); The MAHA Report; Reality Check Radio (NZ), which notes that "some critics point out gaps in verifiability"; *The Interim*; the Weston A. Price Foundation; and IW Features (Independent Women's Forum). I found **no mainstream-press or academic review**. The underlying allegations have been reported and debated for twenty years, and section 6 cites that wider evidence. ## 6. Fact-check Overall verdict: **mixed**. Several things in the book are well documented by neutral or primary sources: China's past use of executed prisoners' organs, the persecution of Falun Gong, the very short wait times of the 2000s, peer-reviewed evidence that China's reform-era donation data were manipulated, and evidence of procurement before brain death. An independent tribunal found forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience "beyond reasonable doubt", and UN experts call the allegations credible. But the **scale** (60,000–90,000 a year) is a disputed estimate, the Sujiatun whistleblower story was never corroborated, and some figures come from advocacy groups and cannot be independently checked.
