14. Not surprising at all.

Chinese hospitals were very grim at the time and only marginally better now.

The poverty was stunning and the people did anything they could for food.
Corruption was rampant so yes. A nice healthy kidney was too irresistible.

But it is a much better country now in terms of the people and tourism.
I should say however, the propaganda now is bad, and Americans are not as well received
from what I am hearing.

Attacking American tourists would never have been tolerated 15 years ago.
