Strictly speaking, it is not accurate to regard, as foreign observers normally did, the Chinese government as the general party harvesting profit from procuring organs from executed prisoners and organ trade because in practice, the interested parties may specifically consist of the local court, the local administration of health and local hospitals (See n 24 below).Although the former two are public authorities and the latter are normally owned by the local government, it might blur the conspiracy of these three interested parties if they are simply summarized to "the Chinese government". Moreover, the interest conflicts between the central government and the local government involved in organ procurement from executed prisoners might also be overlooked as a result (See n 29 below

Under the Chinese civil law, citizens may be categorized into three groups according to the degree of maturity of mind: full capacity for civil conduct, limited capacity for civil conduct and no capacity for civil conduct. See Section 11-13 of the, In a strict sense, the term "full capacity for civil conduct" differs from the term "competence to consent", because citizen with limited capacity for civil conduct may be regarded in law as having sufficient competence to make decision on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, the scope of citizens with full capacity for civil conduct is smaller than that of citizens competent to consent

The relationship between the central government and local government remains a major problem in the Chinese political context. In the practice of organ transplant, it was the local government that was fully in charge of organ procurement, organ allocation, and organ transplantation before the 2006 Provisions. Local protectionism thus becomes a serious problem in practice. The birth of the 2006 Provisions and the 2007 Regulations, to some extent, is supposed to break local protectionism and to achieve effective regulation of the organ transplant practice
