Online buzz intensifies following secret conversation between Putin and Xi captured on microphone
During a recent visit to China, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping found themselves at the centre of an online frenzy. The conversation between the two leaders, which was seemingly caught on a hot mic, sparked widespread intrigue and speculation.
The discussion centred around the potential of biotechnology and its continuous development, a point made by Putin's translator during their ride to the Tiananmen Rostrum. Xi Jinping responded by expressing his belief that some predict humans may live to 150 years old in this century.
The translator even suggested the possibility of achieving immortality. However, it's important to note that there are no available sources indicating that Xi Jinping and Putin spoke about biotechnological advances or human organ transplants during this ride. The search results focus on the military parade event and unrelated topics, without mentioning such discussions.
Netizens were quick to respond, with many expressing surprise and skepticism about the conversation. Some joked about the prospect of 72-year-olds planning their 150th birthday party, while others raised more serious concerns. One user questioned the motives behind the conversation, suggesting that it was a deliberate hot mic incident, a way for the world leaders to troll each other.
Another user expressed suspicion, stating that the conversation about the possibility of being immortal with the use of biotechnology and continuous organ transplants seemed too unlikely to be a mere accident. They suggested that the leaders knew they were being overheard and that the conversation was meant for the world to hear.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the conversation, one thing is clear: the world is watching as the leaders of China and Russia navigate the future of biotechnology and the potential for human longevity. The Beijing-led SCO summit, which brought together over 20 leaders from non-Western nations, provided a platform for these discussions and will likely continue to shape the global conversation on these topics.
