Who donates organs in china?

Politically charged: China has a reputation for executing prisoners on schedule to harvest their organs. I don't think this qualifies as "donation". There probably is a smaller, more traditional donation market there. Japan, which does transplants on their people, have a tradition of not donating organs, so they are a ready market for organs of chinese origin.

Skills have to be: Practiced. I would start with one on one therapy, which is likely to be a bit easier for you at first. Dale carnegie courses and toastmasters can also be helpful.

Is china lily soya sauce good for you?

Dr. Ed Friedlander answered
Pathology 44 years experience
Not especially: Soy sauced tend to be loaded with salt which contributes to hypertension in some (not all) people. There's little magic in food choices. Health is more likely to come from a sensible, balanced diet, staying physically fit, and avoiding tobacco, illegal drugs, and excesses in alcohol use.
