In a surprising turn during a major military parade in Beijing on Wednesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly discussed the potential for human immortality and dramatically extended lifespans through advancements in biotechnology and organ transplantation.

The extraordinary exchange occurred as Xi hosted 26 world leaders, including Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, for an event commemorating 80 years since Japan’s surrender in World War II and China’s victory over occupying forces. The gathering marked a historic moment, being the first time the three powerful leaders—Xi, Putin, and Kim—have appeared together in public.

According to translations, President Xi initiated the conversation by noting, “Earlier, people rarely lived to 70, but these days at 70 you are still a child.” Putin reportedly responded by suggesting, “With the development of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted and people can live younger and younger, and even achieve immortality.” Xi then added, “Predictions are, this century, there is also a chance of living to 150.”

The discussion casts a spotlight on both leaders’ apparent interest in anti-aging technologies. Both Xi and Putin are currently 72 years old. This conversation also comes amidst past controversies surrounding organ harvesting in China, which was officially banned in 2015 but has faced accusations of continuing through exploitation of targeted minorities. Furthermore, The Times of London reported last year that Kremlin officials had directed scientists to fast-track anti-aging research, focusing on cellular degeneration and strengthening the immune system.
