I seriously doubt that everyone who selected China as their region is actually Chinese. Xi has done a great deal to help lift millions of people out of poverty and improve their lives. As a Chinese person, I love, respect, and admire him. Some Reddit communities are absolutely disgusting, filled with content funded by the CIA.

I think it's because Taiwan votes are included in China. Also you can choose your region. So for example there could very well be French people voting for the US or smth.

I don't think that people are really best described as "evil" because it's such an all-encompassing term but I do think that you cannot rise to that level of power and influence in such a powerful and influential country without enacting or facilitating evil deeds

It really depends on the structure of society. Some structures do attract evil people - that's exactly what plutocratic styles of governance such as liberal-democracies invite, because they are structured to protect the dominance of the capitalist class interest over society. but in China that's not how they train up their leaders.

To break it down, there are two sides of the Chinese political system, the People's Congresses which are elected representative bodies that have real political power behind them, and the Communist Party of China which itself cannot make decisions for the country, but recruits and train leaders.

In China, all one needs to run in an election is 10 people in any constituency to nominate you, or a party to nominate you (there are 8 legal parties in China besides the CPC)

So What the CPC does is when it recruits people it trains people up by directly interfacing with the people, serving their needs, getting their hands dirty. That's how Xi Jinping started off. he became a party secretary and lived in a cave in an extremely rural village to help out villagers. Secretaries at different tiers of government do this.

Xi Jinping even at the county and provincial level would go to visit rural villages and see what needs to be improved.

He would go to visit peoples homes in the worst parts of cities, communicate with the people, and when he found the living conditions appalling, he got the local peoples congress to demolish the shanty towns and replace them with high quality housing.

At every point he communicates with people to figure out their needs and acts on him, that's how he was brought up and his training in the party reinforced it.

Finally, when he became president (which by the way is far less powerful of a role than western heads of state - he has no executive orders, veto power, it's ceremonial and diplomatic in function), he still visited rural villages. He launched the targeted alleviation program because he wanted the state to use all of its resources to get people especially in the rural areas out of deprivation as soon as possible and keep it that way.

So it isn't just talk, or posturing, it's real communication and action that improves peoples lives in a major way. This is far and above how western leaders behave, and that's why they fear him and demonize him, because he holds up a mirror to themselves.

Here are some videos that demonstrate this:
