There is now evidence linking China's execution system and its booming organ transplant industry. Amnesty International says the demand for transplant organs is driving the high number of executions in China. - Dominic Waghorn


Do you ever travel by bus? Not likely if you live in South Africa. A possibility if you live in London and quite probable if you are doing any traveling around the world. I reckon I am qualified to comment on traveling abroad via bus. You see I have survived three of the most excruciating rides imaginable in my short life so far: A 24 hour trip from Istanbul in Turkey all the way to the popular coastal town of Fethiye Oludeniz in a bus where almost all the passengers were smoking inside for the full duration - killer! A nightmare 48 hour trip in a Greyhound from Colorado to Boston where a serial killer looking local jumps on with his shot gun and takes the seat right behind me. The bus driver notices my apprehension and puts me at ease by fondly tapping his holstered pistol on his hip to show me he has his passengers covered. Thanks pal that did a lot to calm my nerves. The third episode I only remember bits of as the bus that was taking us over the Langkloof pass lost it's brakes. Too close to death I tell you. None of these have a stitch on China's special bus service though.

Perhaps you are thinking of heading to China for the Olympics in August. A tip from PlanetPi: Don't jump on the above bus. Sure it looks as good as any other bus. This one is a one way trip though. It's the DEATH BUS!

Check out the article from the link. Crazy shit, but there is some hectic stuff happening in that country around the World Cup as well as World Domination. The author is a reliable correspondent I can vouch for. I remember watching him in his early years at SKY news. This investigation was done while he was the Asian correspondent. He has since moved to ply his trade in Jerusalem , presumably for his own safety.

The buses drive around China to execute people more efficiently. A lethal dose, injected on the bus, takes care of business. China executes more people than the rest of the world put together. At one point Waghorn interviews a nurse at a hospital who boasts that if they need say a new Kidney for a transplant they just put a call through to the local jail. By the end of the day a freshly plucked kidney is sent over on ice. You can imagine the kick backs. Evil stuff man. Enjoy your trip to China and take a taxi.
