Xi and Putin's Hot Mic Moment on Immortality and Why It Matters: Joshua Philipp
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Talking about this forced organ harvesting industry in China, you know, you and I have been looking at this issue for the better part of 20 years.
There's very few people out there aside from some of these key researchers that I think both of us know.
And this hot mic moment for me with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin talking about achieving immortality through continual organ transplantation.
That was a surreal moment that I honestly am still in a sense digesting many days after the fact.
What was your reaction?
I was shocked.
I mean, shocked, but also not shocked because, I mean, we knew it was happening.
We've known this is happening for a long time.
It was kind of that moment where you're reporting on a murderer and you know a crime has been taking place, and then you get a video clip of the murderer bragging about how they did it and how they're happy they did it.
Like it was that kind of moment for me.
And you know, Jan, I was actually thinking back.
I remember when I first started working for Epoch Times back in 2006, again, you know, almost 20 years, I remember you were one of the first people I met actually at Epoch Times.
You know, you were helping train some of the journalists.
And I think that was the same year that we broke the first stories on live organ harvesting in China.
