four consecutive paragraphs:

"中国官媒新华社报道，本届全国人大闭幕会议上，新当选的全国人大委员长栗战书，谈到习近平全票当选为中华人民共和国主席、中华人民共和国中央军事委员会主席时说：'这是近3000名全国人大代表的集体意志，是13亿多全国各族人民的共同心愿。'

"栗战书接着说：'习近平同志是全党拥护、人民爱戴、当之无愧的党的核心、军队统帅、人民领袖，是新时代中国特色社会主义国家的掌舵者、人民的领路人。'

"香港信报3月21日在特稿中说，栗战书为习近平“连冠五称号”。该报说，' "核心、统帅、领袖、舵手、领路人" 这些最高称号，是由中国最高国家权力机关的负责人在代表全国人民的3000名代表面前宣读出来，就像一场加冕礼。有人因而认为，中国已经从 "集体领导" 走向 "主席负责制。" '

"北京外国语大学教授展江对美国之音说 * * * 超过毛泽东了。毛泽东那时是四个称号（记者注：伟大导师，伟大领袖，伟大统帅，伟大舵手）。

"President Trump did not follow specific warnings from his national security advisers Tuesday [Mar 20] when he congratulated Russian President Vladi­mir Putin on his reelection — including a section in his briefing materials in all-capital letters stating 'DO NOT CONGRATULATE,' according to officials familiar with the call.

"Trump also chose not to heed talking points from aides instructing him to condemn the recent poisoning of a former Russian spy in Britain with a powerful nerve agent, a case that both the British and U.S. governments have blamed on Moscow.

"* * * during their [Trump-Putin] call Tuesday [Mar 20] morning, a [unnamed] source familiar with the President's thinking said.

"Trump was fuming Tuesday night, asking his allies and outside advisers who they thought had leaked the information, noting that only a small group of staffers have access to those materials and would have known what guidance was included for the Putin call, the source said.

"According to the source, the incident resurfaces his long-held belief there are individuals inside his administration -- especially in the national security realm -- who are actively working to undermine him.
