Revealed: Reason Behind Removal of Kim Jong-un's Drinking Glass Post-China Meeting
In a recent development, security services in Beijing reportedly took away North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's glass after his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The action was aimed at maintaining the leader's security and preventing the collection of biological material that could be used by potential adversaries.
According to reports by Moscow Komsomolskaya Pravda journalists, the information was based on statements from retired FSB major Alexander Mikhailov. Mikhailov also mentioned previous activities of American laboratories collecting biomaterial from various ethnic groups for study purposes. However, it is important to note that the expert's mention of these activities does not imply that they are currently active or ongoing, nor does it specify the nature or scope of the biomaterial collection activities.
The seizure and cleaning of the glass were not the first such actions taken in relation to Kim Jong Un's security. The North Korean delegation specialists were also reported to have wiped furniture upholstery and taken the glass from Kim Jong Un after the meeting.
The invitation for Kim Jong Un to visit Russia was made in the context of his meeting with Putin in Beijing. Putin extended this invitation, but it is not stated whether the Russian authorities are taking any specific measures to prevent similar activities during Kim Jong Un's visit to Russia.
Earlier in 2019, journalists from The New York Times accused Chinese authorities of spying on people using biological materials. However, the details of this accusation are not mentioned in this paragraph, and it is not clear whether the Chinese activities mentioned in the New York Times article are related to the activities of American laboratories.
The expert does not specify which specific American laboratories were involved in the mentioned activities, and there are no relevant search results available that provide the name of the person who claimed that security services took away Kim Jong Un's glass after the meeting with Putin.
The actions were taken to ensure long-term security for Kim Jong Un and to prevent potential adversaries from collecting biological material. The expert does not provide a direct connection between the seizure of Kim Jong Un's glass and the activities of American laboratories, as the two events are discussed in separate paragraphs.
