Hot Mic Catches Putin, Xi Jinping Pondering 'Immortality'
"Video of the translated comments quickly spread on social media as Putin, Jinping, and North Korea's Kim Jong Un viewed a military parade in Beijing this week. The moment between Putin, 72, and Jinping, 72, was carried on state broadcaster CCTV. Bloomberg also ran the footage. With continuous advances in biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become, and (you can) even achieve immortality, Putin told Jinping, according to the translation."
"Some predict that in this century humans may live to 150 years old, Jinping responded. The Chinese president argued that being 70 in today's world is like being a child. Earlier, people rarely lived to 70, but these days at 70 years you are still a child, he said. Kim, 41, could be seen smiling at the conversation between the two world leaders, but it's not clear whether any of it was being translated for him."
Russian President Vladimir Putin (72) and Chinese President Xi Jinping (72) were overheard on a hot mic discussing organ transplants as a means to extend human life to 150 years or potentially achieve immortality while viewing a military parade in Beijing alongside North Korea's Kim Jong Un. State broadcaster CCTV carried the moment and Bloomberg ran the footage; video of translated comments spread rapidly on social media. Putin said advances in biotechnology allow continuous organ transplantation and can reverse aging; Xi said some predict 150-year lifespans and described being 70 today as like being a child. Kim was seen smiling during the exchange.
