Xinhua news agency, the official Chinese government agency, denied allegations regarding organs being transplanted from executed prisoners.
"The self-claimed 'burns specialist' who claimed to have removed skin from nearly 100 executed Chinese prisoners for transplant in front of US congressmen has never been professionally qualified for transplant operations," it stated.
The agency also quoted Tian Fuming, vice-president of the Tianjin General Hospital, saying: "the so-called systematic harvest of organs of executed prisoners for sale in Tianjin has been concocted by Wang Guoqi and Wu Hongda for their despicable motives."
The Xinhua article also claimed that Harry Wu, who had collaborated with Wang on denouncing the organ transplants, "has been notorious for claiming to secretly videotape a heart operation in China as a kidney transplant operation, and claiming ordinary tombs as those of executed prisoners, in order to support his allegation that the Chinese government supports the sale of body organs of executed prisoners without consent from them or their family members."
