Xi Muses on Living to 150 in Hot-Mic Moment With Putin, Kim

Chinese President Xi Jinping commented on the possibility of people living to 150 during a hot-mic moment with his Russian and North Korean counterparts, a rare glimpse of an unscripted chat between three of the world’s most prominent strongmen.

The conversation between Xi, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un was captured on a live feed as the leaders ascended the Tiananmen Gate in Beijing, where they would observe a ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of Japan’s defeat in World War II on Wednesday. It was first flagged by social media users watching festivities around China’s military parade.
