Putin and China

The president of China, Xi Jinping, and his Russian visiting counterpart, Vladimir Putin, discussed organ transplants and immortality that prolonged life while talking to a massive military parade in Beijing on Wednesday, in comments collected by state media microphones.

The historical images showed Xi trembling their hand and talking with Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong a while they walked on a red carpet of Tiananmen Square, in scenes seen as a challenge for President Trump and the global order led by the United States that has prevailed for more than a century.

“These days … 70 years,” XI reflected in Mandarin as he walked next to Putin and Kim, according to a video broadcast by the Chinese state station CCTV. The XI translator transmitted the comments to Putin, who then listens in Russian citing a line of a Tang dynasty poem: “In the past, it used to be rare for someone to be over 70 years old and these days say that 70 is still a son.”

Putin then turned to Xi, speaking while making a gesture with his hands, although his words are inaudible in CCTV feeding. The same Chinese translator transmits Putin’s comments to XI.

“With the … Development of biotechnology, human organs can continually transplant, people could age as they age and can even become immortal,” Putin said, according to the translator.

XI then spoke again in Mandarin when the camera cut: “The predictions are, in this century, it can be … it can be lived up to 150 years.”

Putin confirmed the exchange during a press conference later on Wednesday.

“Ah, I think it was when we went to the parade that the president talked about this,” he told reporters, referring to Xi.

“Modern media, both health improvement and medical media, and then even all kinds of surgical related to organ replacement, allow humanity to expect active life to continue not as it does today,” Putin added.

China and Russia “No Limits Partnership”

XI and Putin, together with the supreme leader of Kim and Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have been called an “axis of agitation” by some western analysts, and Xi’s decision to bring together the leaders of some of the most of the most of the most very sanctioned nations In the world this week was clearly calculated.

The parade was the first time that Kim appeared along with Xi and Putin, providing him with a first multilateral diplomatic event.

XI and Putin have made their ambition to shake the clear global status quo for several years.

“We, together with you and our supporters, will move towards a multipolar democratic world order, just,” Russia’s Foreign Minister for a long time Sergey Lavrov said in 2022before a meeting with his Chinese counterpart.

China and Russia have declared a “There is no limit association“And neither Xi nor Putin, both 72, have expressed some intention to give up their respective roles at the head of their nations.

While the predecessors of XI, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, resigned from power after 10 years in office, abolished the mandate limits in 2018 and, in 2023, he received a third mandate as Chinese president.

Putin was chosen for a fifth period of six years record Last year in Russia. Critics dismissed the vote as an obviously antidemocratic farce, since practically all serious political opponents of Putin were forbidden to run, and many of them were imprisoned.

Putin has used his influence as an autocratic leader of Russia to amend the constitution so that theoretically can remain in power until it is in the 80 years. He is already the oldest Kremlin leader from the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.

Meanwhile, China has historically had one of the lowest rates of organ donation In the world, with severe shortage of organ donors and a long -standing black market organ trade. In 2016, approximately four years after XI’s mandate as leader, surgeons from the World Health Organization met in Beijing to try to calm skepticism about whether Chinese hospitals had stopped, as stated, Make transplants with the organs of the prisoners executed.
