Many in the west would see this and say "He is just saying things. He is lying."
Is the 800 million people who have been risen out of poverty a lie? Is the 90% approval ratings a lie? Are the constantly increasing living conditions a lie? Are the massive infrastructure projects a lie? Are the support systems in place for people in need a lie?
He does not just say things. He acts. His actions, and accomplishments speak for themselves. There is no one alive today who has done more good, for more people, than Xi Jinping. That is a fact.
Well part of the issue is that lies in politics is all that most of these people know. They admit it or not, are so used to that spectacle of lies that they can't imagine an honest politician anymore.
Being presented with some factual information to the contrary probably causes some serious discomfort. Thing that you were taught to hate since a little kid turns out to work better than shit you lived in all your life. It doesn't justify willful ignorance but I get it, it hurts (:
It's just the anti-communist stubbornness of some people that irritates me. There should be a time in your life where you just accept that you were wrong. Admit it, improve and move on with your life. Instead I see people doing mental gymnastics and lowering themselves to support fascists instead. It's horrible.
