Xi may have started out with good intentions but the sick power games that go on inside the CCP forced him to viciously eliminate his enemies. This has made him paranoid. Additionally, he seems to believe that he is now some type of great thinker. His egomaniacal thoughts “The Thoughts of Xi Jing Ping” have become an integral part of every school textbook. Those thoughts are nothing more than lukewarm communist platitudes. He and Mao’s photos have replaced the photos of Jesus Christ in Christian churches. Etc. etc. etc.
To be honest I'm pretty sure he was always like that. Xi is pretty good at politicking and intrigue and not much else, see the fact that he turned the province he was running back when he was younger to shit.

I don’t think it’s a psy op.
