Ante la cámara, se muestran antipáticos, marciales, casi invulnerables. Fuera de guion, en cambio, son hombrecillos que se resisten a la idea de morir

Overview

  • CCTV broadcast snippets of the leaders' conversation as they walked to the viewing platform during Beijing's WWII anniversary parade, with Kim Jong Un alongside.
  • Xi was heard saying that in this century humans could live up to 150 years.
  • Putin, speaking through a translator, referenced continual organ transplants and the possibility of immortality, then told reporters that modern health methods could significantly extend active life.
  • Both leaders are 72 and have taken steps that allow extended rule, with Xi abolishing term limits and Putin enabled by constitutional changes to remain in office through 2036.
  • Coverage notes there is no scientific evidence that sequential organ replacement can achieve immortality or counter brain aging, though Russia's Rosatom has touted research into 'printing' human organs.
