I think so after reading this;

"about Xi Jinping---In 1963, when he was age 10, his father was purged from the Party and sent to work in a factory in Luoyang, Henan.[37] In May 1966, the Cultural Revolution cut short Xi's secondary education when all secondary classes were halted for students to criticise and fight their teachers. Student militants ransacked the Xi family home and one of Xi's sisters, Xi Heping, committed suicide from the pressure.[38] Later, his mother was forced to publicly denounce his father, as he was paraded before a crowd as an enemy of the revolution. His father was later thrown into prison in 1968 when Xi was aged 15. Without the protection of his father, Xi was sent to work in Liangjiahe Village"

sounds like he would have reason to want to get back at the people who harmed his family.
