China's healthy life expectancy has already surpassed USA.

In terms of total life expectancy, here is the link to the new Lancet study,

Based on the 2040 reference forecast, life expectancy for both sexes combined ranged from 57·3 years (95% UI 48·7–65·3) in Lesotho to 85·8 years (83·6–87·4) in Spain (figure 9). By 2040, 59 countries were projected to meet or exceed a life expectancy of 80 years. Beyond most high- income countries, such locations included those in Latin America (eg, Cuba, Peru, Colombia, and Chile), southeast Asia (eg, Thailand and Sri Lanka), and China. China surpassed a life expectancy of 80 years by 2040 (81·9 years [78·6–84·2]), and also recorded higher levels than the USA (79·8 years [76·3–82·9]). Russia, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and other central Asian countries all had forecasted life expectancy between 75 and 80 years by 2040 while India and Pakistan were just below 75 years. Further, reference forecasts put several countries in sub-Saharan Africa on the trajectory to reach similar levels of life expectancy, including Rwanda (74·8 years [66·2–81·1]), Nigeria (74·8 years [71·5–78·3]), and Kenya (73·9 years [67·2–78·1]). In 2040, four countries in sub- Saharan Africa were projected to have life expectancies less than 65 years (Central African Republic, Lesotho, Somalia, and Zimbabwe).
In 2040, the projected comparison will be 81.9 vs 79.8.
Therefore, the year when China surpasses Trump Regime on this criterion will be much ahead of 2040.
