After the end of the Chinese Communist Party’s military parade on September 3, Russian President Putin held a bilateral meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Beijing. Eastern European media outlet NEXTA posted a video on x platform, reporting that after the meeting, North Korean personnel swiftly conducted a thorough cleaning of items touched by Kim Jong-un, sparking widespread speculation.
According to Russian media RT, on September 3, after the reception hosted by China, Kim Jong-un rode in Putin’s official car to the Beijing Diaoyutai State Guesthouse to hold a bilateral meeting with Putin.
During the meeting, Kim Jong-un mentioned North Korean troops participating in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and Putin acknowledged the role of North Korean soldiers in the conflict. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has been ongoing for over three years, with Russia facing a shortage of personnel. South Korean intelligence agency disclosed that this year, North Korea has dispatched over 10,000 soldiers to Russia and provided military supplies such as shells and missiles.
Eastern European media outlet NEXTA’s video indicated that after the meeting, North Korean agents and service staff quickly cleaned up traces left by Kim Jong-un, including taking away the glass he used, and wiping the chairs and tables he touched with what appeared to be damp cloths.
Media outlets such as the New York Post reported the information disclosed by NEXTA. However, since the related video came from non-official media sources, its authenticity cannot be verified.
This video has sparked intense discussions on the internet. Many foreign netizens expressed confusion, questioning whether North Korea’s actions were “extremely paranoid.” Some internet users suggested that if the leader’s DNA characteristics were obtained, they could be used to tailor specific diseases, even targeting specific genetic backgrounds for diseases.
Some netizens believe that North Korea’s behavior reflects its lack of trust in China or its knowledge of undisclosed secrets. This high level of security and information control demonstrates extreme protection of the leader’s personal information and highlights the mysterious nature surrounding his regime.
Kim Jong-un’s trip has been closely watched by international media. According to Nikkei News citing intelligence sources, Kim Jong-un always carries a personal toilet when traveling to protect his health data and prevent leaks.
It is reported that North Korea views Kim Jong-un’s health condition and related information as top secrets, strictly prohibiting any leaks.
Furthermore, due to flight safety concerns, Kim Jong-un prefers to use bulletproof trains. It was reported that Kim Jong-un departed from Pyongyang on a special train on September 1 and arrived in Beijing on September 2. His special train travels at a slower speed, with stringent security measures, continuing the travel tradition of his grandfather Kim Il-sung and father Kim Jong-il.
Kim Jong-un’s attendance at the September 3 CCP military parade was reportedly an unexpected event. According to Taiwan’s United Daily News, when the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued the invitation, they initially expected Kim Jong-un to only assign North Korean Labor Party Central Secretary Choi Ryong Hae as the representative, but unexpectedly Kim Jong-un personally agreed to attend.
