In just over three months of 2024 so far, China has reported the death of at least 12 academicians due to illness. They include Li Junxian, a rocket fuel expert, Professor Yang Shie from Harbin Engineering University, and Sheng Zhiyong, the former deputy director of Hospital 304.
Also included are Zhu Nenghong, chief engineer of the Shanghai Observatory; Gu Xinyi, an expert on oil and mining machinery at the Shengli oil field, both of whom were involved in defaming Falun Gong; and Joseph Lau Wan-yee, a liver transplant expert who had close ties to many Chinese hospitals and doctors suspected of harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners alive.
