In a “hot mic” moment, Xi, Putin, and Kim revealed that they have a lot in common with Thiel, Musk, and Gates: namely, they are all striving for immortality. Good buddies, all. As I explained in my book, The Evil Twins of Technocracy and Transhumanism, Technocracy and Transhumanism are like inseparable Siamese twins. Thus, this axis of powers seeks the same outcome as the megalomaniac Technocrats in the Western world, namely, Technocracy’s scientific dictatorship. ⁃Patrick Wood, Editor.
Chinese President Xi Jinping commented on the possibility of people living to 150 during a hot-mic moment with his Russian and North Korean counterparts, a rare glimpse of an unscripted chat between three of the world’s most prominent strongmen.
The conversation between Xi, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un was captured on a live feed as the leaders ascended the Tiananmen Gate in Beijing, where they would observe a ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of Japan’s defeat in World War II on Wednesday. It was first flagged by social media users watching festivities around China’s military parade.
Audio of the exchange on longevity lasted less than a minute, dropped out at times and caught only snippets of the interaction. It picked up the conversation with Xi saying in Mandarin “these days” and “70 years old.”
A translator, apparently relaying Xi’s remarks, then was heard in Russian saying: “Earlier, people rarely lived to 70, but these days at 70 years you are still a child.”

Putin then responded, gesturing with his fingers as he spoke, in a comment that couldn’t be heard clearly on the feed.
‘Achieve Immortality’
A translator then appeared to relay the Russian leader’s remarks, saying in Mandarin: “With the development of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted, and people can live younger and younger, and even achieve immortality.”
A separate translator was then heard repeating in Korean a reference to organ transplants.
Xi then spoke again in Mandarin in the final comment as the camera cut away: “Predictions are, this century, there’s a chance of also living to 150.”
The chat took place just minutes before Xi gave a speech to commemorate China’s victory against Japanese aggression, followed by an elaborate parade of new weapons in a display of the nation’s rising power. Translators walked behind the three leaders, with Xi flanked by Putin to his right and Kim to his left.
Age and health have been a concern for all three leaders, with none of them appointing clear successors. Xi, 72, ended presidential term limits and is set for a potential fourth term leading China in 2027, while Putin, also 72, has changed his nation’s laws to allow him to rule Russia for longer. Kim, 41, took his daughter to Beijing, adding to speculation that he’s grooming her as a successor.
The moment stood out in a highly choreographed event at the center of power in a nation that tightly controls information and the message it wants to portray to the outside world.
Unscripted interactions are rare in China. In 2022, halfway through the closing session of the Communist Party’s twice-a-decade leadership reshuffle, former leader Hu Jintao was led off the stage in a mysterious exit that stole headlines from the event. The official Xinhua News Agency later said that Hu felt unwell and needed to rest.
