Call it what it really is: "Crimes against humanity".

China’s organ harvesting is often seen as a distant human rights issue. But what if it’s something much bigger—and much closer? In this interview, we break down what “industrialized killing” really means, and why it’s not just a China problem. From global complicity to geopolitical strategy, this system may already be reaching beyond its borders. If it continues, it won’t stay contained. And the consequences may not be where people expect.

Thailand’s Chinese heritage is beautifully diverse; Teochew, Hokkien, Hakka, Cantonese, Hainanese, Guangxi, Haw, and Peranakan communities have each brought their own traditions, flavours, and histories. From river trade and family businesses to iconic dishes and southern heritage towns, their stories are woven into everyday Thai life.

Of all of the dining styles available to me in New York City, dim sum most appeals to my proclivities. The variety of petite plates you can mix, match, and multiply into pretty much whatever configuration and quantity you please just piques my interest and my appetite. Having been on the food and drink beat for many of my nearly 20 years as a journalist, I've had plenty of opportunities to visit many excellent dim sum destinations around town. Golden Unicorn in Manhattan's Chinatown shines brightest among them.

“Dim sum is a divine experience, and one you must try if you even passingly enjoy Chinese food. If you're in New York City, make your dim sum spot this joint.”

Binondo is truly special because it played — and still plays — a central role in the Chinese-Filipino culinary exchange. Chinese migrants, primarily from the Fujian and Cantonese regions (modern-day Guangzhou), brought their traditional recipes and cooking techniques, gradually incorporating local flavors and ingredients. This fusion of cuisines gave rise to what is now known as Chinese-Filipino, or Chinoy, food: a portmanteau of “Chinese” and “Pinoy,” the colloquial term for Filipino. Deeply ingrained in Philippine culture and culinary history, one of the best — and tastiest — ways to experience Chinoy cuisine is on a Binondo food tour.

A bomb hoax that forced the cancellation of multiple Shen Yun performances in Toronto is now being linked to a suspect with ties to the Chinese Communist Party, raising fresh concerns over foreign interference. Canadian lawmaker Garnett Genuis joined NTD’s Tiffany Meier to discuss this issue and warned that the incident highlights growing threats to free expression, national sovereignty, and the need for stronger action against foreign influence in Canada.

Should bomb threats be considered acts of terrorism? If so, then should China now be categorized as a terrorist state?

If Huawei is linked to bomb threats, then does that prove the company is an agent of the CCP hence validating the previous allegations leading to foreign communication infrastructure contracts being cancelled?

If Falun Gong is considered a cult, then how is that any different than being a loyal member of the CCP?

If Shen Yun is showcasing ancient Chinese culture through performance art, then what makes that any different than visiting the national museum that showcases it's rich antiquity?

Every April, 126 million people in China perform a series of rituals that look like pure superstition. They eat cold green dumplings, fly kites only to cut the strings, and weave willow branches into their hair. But if you look past the legends, you find a masterpiece of civilizational engineering.
