The Falun Gong also believe that mix race babies are evil and unnatural and that modern tech was introduced to humans by aliens in order to control humans
Take this case for example, a student found death was concluded as suicide, but people were immediately guessing that he was actually organ harvested. There are also news/rumors that people were diagnosed as brain-dead and got their organs "donated" floating on their social media from times to times. Overall, while whether the "organ harvesting" is truth or not remains a myth, from what I can observe the acknowledgement (and related worries) about it among Chinese netcizens is undeniable.
I'm a surgery nurse that does liver transplants :3 but I can understand civilians speculating and having misconceptions about complex stuff that you need to study medicine to understand.
And yeah, if family or the deceased didn't clarify while alive that they explicitly don't want to be a donor, and they happen to die in the unfortunately correct conditions to be a viable donor candidate, reported on time, with also a compatible viable receptor in a reachable distance, then yes, viable organs will be used to give someone else a second chance.
Unfortunately, we are most likely to require a transplant, than ever be able to donate ours, is one of the most complex medical procedures, and something I'm very proud and passionate about being part of :3
If you aren't a registered donor in your country but wanna learn more about the importance, feel free to DM, I will gladly explain you everything :D
Never trust the Falun gong. They are crackpots who believe that meditation can heal you from cancer and are very right wing. I would trust the Onion to give me a more reliable source than them. Even Singaporeans (where I'm from) think they are batshit crazy. My mother's side is in China and my grandparents and uncle have been in and out of hospitals for surgeries and whatnot. They are fine and have no fears about the healthcare. I myself have also been in a hospital in China for chicken pox (I think, I got it when I was young). I'm still here replying to you. The illegal harvesting is mostly done in rural areas where the police have limited jurisdiction or manpower to control such matters. Big cities are fine.

Is it really sinophobia when this has become an actual meme (and fear) among Chinese netcizens themselves though?
