Since Xi came to power in China, he has forced the implementation of several laws that has led to the degradation of human rights in the country. He has also been criticised for suppressing the Uyghurs, a Muslim minority community in China, in the name of combating extremism and terrorism. He has also reportedly established several political correction camps, where inmates have undergo forced labour and political discourses.
Xi’s Expansionist Policies
Xi is known for implementing foreign policies which are considered to be aggressive. Ever since he has come to power, the Chinese diplomats and military forces have indulged in an aggressive show of force. The PLA, on Xi’s orders, have often indulged in limited military offensive against its neighbouring countries. On numerous occasions, he has instructed the PLA to be “battle ready” and be ready to attack Taiwan at a moment’s notice. China also has engaged in aggressive naval patrolling in the South China Sea claiming parts of other countries’ oceans and seas, violating the internationally accepted law of “The Freedom of Navigation.”
The Debt Trap Diplomacy
As per sources, Xi does not only have ambitions to gain land but also gain dominance in the economies of poor countries. He has been criticized for increasing debt burdens on economically weaker countries and increasing China’s geopolitical influence.
Political and Military Purges
Xi has often been criticised for targeting senior CCP politicians in an effort to eliminate threat to his authoritarian post as the General Secretary of the CCP. Reportedly, he has purged thousands of CCP members in the name of “corruption.” In 2024, a report was released by the CIA in which it was claimed that Xi had ordered the removal and arrest of several senior army generals after a missile test failed.
Handling of COVID-19
Xi has been criticised by several international health organisations for forcing the Chinese health industry to hide the actual data related to the virus. As per sources, Xi had threatened officials with legal action if they revealed any information to the public, which the CCP had not approved for release.
Censoring History of China
Under Xi’s leadership, the government has sought to control the narrative surrounding Chinese history. This involves promoting a positive portrayal of the Communist Party’s role in the country’s development while censoring or altering aspects of history that are considered embarrassing or critical. Efforts have been made to downplay significant events such as the Cultural Revolution and the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Disappearance of Jack Ma
In 2020, during an event, Jack Ma, a Chinese billionaire politician, criticised Xi Jinping’s policy on regulating banks and other financial institutes. Following this, Ma went missing for a brief period, and his $55 billion Ant IPO was suspended. He made a public appearance in 2024.
Hiding Wealth
In 2024, several reports surfaced on the internet according to which he had amassed a lot of wealth, which he tries to hide by investing in government-owned companies or by transferring assets and properties in the name of his relatives.
