Sept 5 (Reuters) - Reuters News on Friday withdrew a four-minute video containing an exchange between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussing the possibility that humans can live to 150 years old, after China state TV demanded its removal and withdrew the legal permission to use it.
The footage, which included the open mic exchange from the military parade in Beijing marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two, was licensed by the China state television network, China Central Television (CCTV).
Nothing says hero of the proletariat more than artificially extending your lifespan by taking other people’s organs. Thank you President Xi, very based, very cool
“The longer you live, the younger you become” — this bitch has clearly never heard of human leukocyte antigens.
Yah we should look into that some time after all the current shitty world leaders are dead
There will always be shitty world leaders
Does anyone have a link to the forbidden footage?
Reuters is no longer a wire service.
Why not? The news has been spread, the story is out there. So no harm in taking the video down now and risk your access to future Chinese government events.
I also like the touch that they reported this themselves.
“We stand by the accuracy of what we published,” Reuters said in its statement.
Every week they capitulate to the powers that be.
Agreed, it is no longer a trusted service in my book.
