Caught on Hot Mic, Xi, Putin Muse on 150-Year Lifespans at Beijing Parade
Putin, Xi, and Kim discussed potential life extension through organ transplants amid concerns about aging and regime longevity during Beijing's military parade, officials said.
- During a military parade in Beijing on September 3, 2025, the leaders of China and Russia were overheard discussing advancements in organ transplantation technology that could potentially extend human lifespan and even achieve immortality.
- Their conversation followed longstanding concerns about China's forced organ harvesting, particularly targeting prisoners of conscience like Falun Gong practitioners since 1999.
- The sensitive topic prompted Chinese media to censor the clip, while U.S. lawmakers including Rep. Chris Smith called for urgent legislative action against these abuses.
- Smith argued that senior members of the Chinese Communist Party, including Xi Jinping, are involved in forcibly acquiring organs from others to prolong their own lives, describing this practice as both selfish and brutal; meanwhile, the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act, targeting those responsible for such abuses, was overwhelmingly approved by the House with a 406–1 vote in May.
- The incident underscores human rights issues and suggests growing international pressure on China amid hopes that medical advances could prolong active life differently than today.
