Description

While the most talked-about topic from the Chinese Communist Party’s military parade this month was the infamous “hot mic” moment, its meaning is much more subtle than it appears on the surface.

This week, Terri talks about how the hot mic conversation between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin on organ transplantation may have been completely intentional.

Why would the regime allow such a seemingly unprofessional gaffe to happen, and about such an uncommon topic as longevity?

Terri answers all that and more in this episode of China Watch.
