The result was a comprehensive database of people's personal information, including the 6-10 Office's Falun Gong lists and a wraparound surveillance system that was quickly distributed to other provinces. The report has been widely publicized by The New York Times, The Globe and Mail, The Times, CNN, The Independent, the Daily Mail, and several other major media outlets around the world.

In 2012 Gutmann stated,

There is a long-standing taboo in the journalism community about Falun Gong, about this issue [organ harvesting].

The 700-page report contains extensive information on the actual transplant statistics, sourced directly to Chinese hospitals' own publications and other Chinese primary sources.

He has also testified in London, Ottawa, Canberra, Dublin, Edinburgh, Prague, and Jerusalem.

I can give you an example of this.

I had a friend who wrote for the South China Morning Post. He also co-authored the influential 2016 investigative report, Bloody Harvest/The Slaughter: An Update.

Gutmann described his journey deep into the dissident archipelago of Falun Gong, Tibetans, Uighurs and House Christians, uncovering an ageless drama of resistance, eliciting confessions of deep betrayal and moments of ecstatic redemption. But like a cat listening to mice, the 6-10 Office could find their exact location, having developed the ability to search and spy as a result of a joint venture between the Shandong Province public security bureau and Cisco Systems.

The report meticulously examines the transplant programs of hundreds of hospitals in China, drawing on media reports, official propaganda, medical journals, hospital websites and a vast number of deleted websites found in archives. Our businessmen accommodate themselves to the Communist Party, and turn a blind eye to persecution." Sometimes they even assist the persecution, as when Cisco and other technology companies devised special ways to monitor and arrest Falun Gong practitioners".

Evidence of Cisco's activities in China became public in Gutmann's book.

Before 1999, Falun Gong practitioners didn't systematically use the Internet as an organizing tool.

The Chinese authorities called it the Golden Shield, and Hao Fengjun used it on a daily basis. Gutmann believes, and we think his book demonstrates, that Dr. Ko has acted honourably".

On 29 November, Ko won the election. He wrote a very powerful article about Falun Gong back in the early days. After the persecution of Falun Gong began in 1999, they were isolated, fragmented, and looking for a way to organize and change government policy.

This is common.

During the 2014 Taipei City mayoral election there was controversy about what Gutmann's book, The Slaughter: Mass Killings, Organ Harvesting, and China's Secret Solution to Its Dissident Problem, published in August 2014, said about mayoral candidate Ko Wen-je. He has written for publications such as the Wall Street Journal Asia, The Weekly Standard, National Review, and Investor’s Business Daily, and has provided briefings for the United States Congress, the Central Intelligence Agency, the European Parliament, and the United Nations.

That was at a time when the South China Morning Post was desperately trying to get penetration of that market. The Kilgour–Matas report stated, "the source of 41,500 transplants for the six year period 2000 to 2005 is unexplained" and "we believe that there has been and continues today to be large scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners."

From 2006, Gutmann wrote articles about organ harvesting.

They went online, used code words, avoided precise details and communicated in short bursts.
