On September 3rd, before the Beijing military parade began, Russian President Putin, Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un walked towards the viewing platform. The live microphone on the sidelines captured them talking while walking, and the conversation surprisingly involved topics such as “organ harvesting” and “immortality”, sparking shock and discussion. Despite China’s internet censorship of this content, some netizens continued to spread related information, with someone even urging in a high-speed rail restroom: “Awaken the 1.4 billion organs!”
On September 7th, a netizen posted on the social platform X, uploading related images and stating, “Revolution in the train restroom, the wisdom of the people has been awakened, the public opinion is surging, the people’s mouths are hard to control, and the buns have been exposed!”
The uploaded images showed someone had written on the door of the high-speed rail restroom: “A friend in their 30s has passed away, while Xi Jinping is sprinting to 150. Awaken the 1.4 billion organs! Don’t scare me, I’m scared.”
Netizens commented, “Scared me to death”, “So brave, daring to write on the high-speed rail”, “This warrior is very courageous, could be caught at any time on the high-speed rail”, “There are cameras in the high-speed rail except for the aisle, also it’s real-name system, if you want to write, go to the mall or the park”.
“The revolution of restrooms heralds a new era”, “Restrooms will need cameras installed”, “In the future, facial recognition may be required even in restrooms”.
“It seems the CCP will have to deploy armed police at all restrooms”, “It’s time to awaken!”
Recently, foreign media such as Bloomberg and Reuters rebroadcasted a CCTV live video showing that before the “9.3 Military Parade” ceremony began, Xi Jinping walked side by side with Putin and talked about the topic of lifespan.
Putin’s live Russian translation recounted that Xi Jinping said to Putin: “In the past, few people could live to 70 years old, but now 70 years old is still a child.”
Putin then responded to Xi’s statement, but his original words were not clear. The on-site translator in Chinese said, Putin said: “With the development of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted, people can live younger and younger, and even achieve immortality.”
Xi Jinping then took over and said: “Some predict that in this century, humans may live to 150 years.”
Reuters edited Xi Jinping and Putin’s conversation into a four-minute video segment and distributed it to over a thousand media customers globally, including major international news broadcasting companies and television stations around the world.
On September 6th, Reuters reported that CCTV of the Chinese Communist Party requested the deletion of this four-minute video and revoked the legal permission to use the video.
Reuters stated that this video segment had previously received permission from CCTV, and other authorized media had also edited related videos. However, they received a legal letter from CCTV, requesting the deletion of the video. Therefore, on September 5th, they removed the video and issued a “deletion” order to its customers.
