The US President applauded Xi Jinping's bid to usher China back into an era of a one man dictatorship.
Donald Trump has heaped praise on the Chinese president's apparent moves to maintain his grip on power indefinitely, and contemplated whether America might follow suit.
The US president applauded Xi Jinping's bid to usher China back into an era of a one man dictatorship - hailing the world leader as "great" and praising the fact he now holds office "for life".
China's most powerful leader in a generation, who took power in 2012, had been expected to rule until 2023. However, last week China's ruling Communist Party proposed removing a constitutional clause limiting presidential service to two consecutive terms, potentially paving the way for China's authoritarian leader to stay in office indefinitely.
