[People News] At the Chinese Communist Party’s September 3 military parade, a live microphone caught a private conversation between Chinese and Russian leaders Xi Jinping and Putin—about organ transplants and living to 150 years old. Human rights and religious freedom expert Marco Respinti told The Dajiyuan that, given the CCP’s practice of harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners and other prisoners of conscience, this conversation is chilling.
According to reporting by Dajiyuan journalist Li Chen, Marco Respinti is editor-in-chief of International Family News, and also serves as director of the academic publication The Journal of CESNUR and of Bitter Winter, a magazine focusing on religious freedom and human rights issues in China.
Respinti said, “The impression this conversation gives is very bad. At a very important international occasion, Xi Jinping and Putin, with a casual and cynical attitude, discussed the possibility of human organ transplants.”
“Human organ transplantation should, under legal and ethical premises, be used to treat serious diseases. Yet they casually, even jokingly, talked about it as an alternative means to prolong life, even openly claiming one could live to 150 years old. This is completely utopian fantasy, totally detached from reality.”
A video from the September 3 parade shows Putin and Xi walking side by side, casually discussing organ transplants and their health benefits. Both leaders kept smiling, and at one point, there was loud laughter.
In the video, Xi, through a Russian interpreter, said: “In the past, very few people could live to 70, but now 70 is still a child.”
The interpreter then clearly relayed part of Putin’s words, in which Putin mentioned organ transplants, saying: “Human organs will continually be transplanted, and people will live younger and younger, even achieving immortality.”
Respinti further commented on this dialogue between Xi and Putin: “I emphasise again, they were laughing while talking, and at the same time, we know countless people have died from the horrific practice of forced organ harvesting. Years ago, it started with Falun Gong, who are the main victims of this crime. Then, while persecuting Falun Gong, it expanded to Tibetans, Uyghurs, Christians, and other minority groups.”
The CCP’s organ harvesting scandal was first exposed in 2006. Over the past 20 years, multiple international investigation reports have confirmed that the CCP has harvested organs from Falun Gong practitioners and other prisoners of conscience.
In March 2020, the Independent People’s Tribunal in London issued its final written judgment, concluding:
“(Forced) organ harvesting has been carried out on a large scale for years throughout China, and Falun Gong practitioners have been one—and probably the main—source of human organs.
“The persecution and medical examinations targeting the Uyghur population are a more recent development.”
Respinti said, “Since we all know this, their casual, cynical talk makes it all the more chilling.
“When they openly discuss such issues, there is absolutely no moral bottom line. They clearly make no distinction between whether it is legal or not. That is truly chilling.”
Respinti stated, “(The Western world) must take this dialogue seriously and demand clarification from the two leaders.
“But in fact, the opposite happened. The CCP’s CCTV demanded that Reuters remove the video of this conversation from its website, and Reuters immediately complied. This was a very foolish move, because the video had already spread worldwide through YouTube and other channels. What’s more interesting is that CCTV insisted on deletion, and Reuters agreed right away.
“On the contrary, we should not forget (this conversation). We should again press these two leaders: What did you mean by those words? What were your intentions? Why were you laughing when talking about these issues? Were you just joking? Or serious? What do you intend to do with the harvested organs—organs that should be used to save patients’ lives?
“Unfortunately, I have not seen the West respond swiftly, promptly, and forcefully. I fear this conversation will again be swallowed into the void—ignored, and soon forgotten.”
“What I want to say is: dictatorships and totalitarian regimes like the CCP will very likely continue to commit their horrific crimes casually, without anyone questioning them or demanding accountability,” he said. △
