Congressman Democrat and Rep. Of the US House of Representatives Roh Hannah criticized the words of US President Donald Trump, who previously described as "remarkable" the possible "lifetime" rule of Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The congressman wrote on his Twitter.

"It's a joke or not, but talking about lifelong governance like Xi Jinping is the most anti-American sentiment the US president could express. George Washington would roll over in his coffin, "he wrote.

Earlier, Trump, at a private meeting with Republican sponsors at his Mar-o-Lago residence in Florida, admired the "lifetime" rule of Xi Jinping. "Maybe we will give it a chance someday," the American president stressed. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China at the end of February spoke in favor of changing the Constitution of the Republic and proposed to remove from it the phrase that the PRC President and his deputy may be in their posts no more than two five-year terms in a row.

Xi Jinping heads the PRC from 2013, the decision to extend his powers, as well as amend the Constitution, will be adopted at the March congress of the All-China Assembly.
