Cheng Peiming: Organ Transplants for Longevity — The CCP’s Enormous Crime

On September 3, during Beijing’s military parade, CCP leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were caught on a live broadcast casually discussing “organ transplants” and “immortality.” The conversation sparked international outrage.

Cheng Peiming, who escaped to the U.S. after surviving forced organ harvesting, said hearing their remarks made him “very sad.” He stressed that the CCP’s crime of organ harvesting is enormous and called for righteous forces worldwide to help put an end to it.

Video footage showed Xi telling Putin through an interpreter: “In the past, few people lived past 70. But now, 70 is still like being a child.”

Putin responded, and his Chinese interpreter translated loudly: “With advances in biotechnology, human organs can be transplanted again and again. We thus become younger and may even achieve immortality.”

Laughter followed, and Xi added: “It’s predicted that this century, humans may live to 150 years old.”

This remark deeply pained Cheng, who told Dajiyuan: “These CCP leaders, these demons, in order to prolong their lives, take organs from other people to replace their own. This crime is too great.”

By “these people,” Cheng referred mainly to Falun Gong practitioners and ordinary Chinese who became unwilling “organ banks.” Cheng himself is believed to be the only known survivor of CCP live organ harvesting.

He recounted that after beginning Falun Gong practice in 1998, he was illegally sentenced to 8 years in 2001 for refusing to give up his belief. In November 2004, while imprisoned, he was subjected to his first involuntary organ harvesting operation. In 2006, when he realized a second operation was imminent, he managed to escape. After eventually fleeing China in 2015, he was rescued to the U.S. in 2020. Nine separate medical imaging exams confirmed that part of his left liver lobe and lung had been removed. “After Xi Jinping openly talked about using organ transplants to live to 150 years, my heart felt very heavy. The world should wake up. All righteous people—from presidents to ordinary citizens—must act to wipe out this evil.”

Analysts: Xi May Be Intentionally Marketing Organ Transplants

Xi and Putin’s casual remarks immediately reignited global focus on the CCP’s organ transplant practices. The video was quickly scrubbed from Chinese social media.

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson commented on September 4: “If leaders are talking about this, we should be alarmed. They are exploiting persecuted religious minorities for organs.”

Chinese human rights lawyer Wu Shaoping told Dajiyuan: “To joke about harvesting organs to prolong life under the global spotlight shows they are utterly devoid of humanity.”

Some netizens speculated Xi didn’t realize the microphones were live. But Wu argued Xi may have intended it, saying: “They may have been advertising their organ transplant industry—promoting it to Western elites.”

Cheng noted that China’s transplant technology is among the world’s most advanced, precisely because it was built on the systematic killing of Falun Gong practitioners, making the CCP “push organ transplants onto the entire society and even humanity.”

Organ Transplant Tourism and the “150-Year Longevity Project”

A Phoenix Weekly report (2013) revealed that over the past decade, China became a hub for “organ transplant tourism,” with operations so efficient they seemed unbelievable. One surgeon reportedly performed 246 liver transplants in a single year, while some patients received two kidney transplants within 48 hours.

Meanwhile, revelations of the CCP’s secret “Project 981 Leadership Health Program” resurfaced. Its stated goal: enable CCP leaders to “defy death” and live up to 150 years, with organ regeneration as a key focus.

Wu Shaoping explained: “Xi may also be using organ transplants to entice, buy off, and corrupt foreign elites—binding them to the CCP.”

For instance, in 2024 Malaysia’s King Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar publicly thanked Xi for arranging his son’s successful liver transplant in Guangzhou. Reports also surfaced of a Malaysian MP undergoing multiple kidney transplants in China.

In April 2025, just before Xi’s state visit to Malaysia, police in Kuala Lumpur raided a private site and detained 76 Falun Gong practitioners, the youngest only 10 years old—an unprecedented crackdown in Malaysia.

Wu concluded: “By exporting organ transplantation, the CCP seeks to control the world—making elites complicit in its crimes. That is the sinister intent of this evil regime. This is why Xi dared to openly advertise it in front of the media.”
