Xi is educated, seems to care about his people, and appears to want China to be competitive in world markets...he knows that the west would have to put sanctions on China, steep ones, if he gives aid to putin....
the only reason i could see for him to help putin would be to consume russia afterwards...and honestly, who cares if he does? it might grant some stability to the region, finally
^Well, that's one way to look at it.
The way I see it, he's running a police state with a scary amount of technology in place that can even track a person's movement while shopping, much less travel. Anybody who gets on their watch list can't so much as fart without them knowing.
You might read up on how much he cares about Uyghurs, Tibetans, free press, Hong Kongers.
You might check into
what happened to Jack Ma, his wealth, his businesses (Alibaba and Ant) and his freedom.
You might check into Xi's shenanigans to get himself named ruler for life.
You might check into what Chinese government, banks and businesses are doing to the countries in Africa that are part of the Silk Road initiative.
You might check out how expansive and deep Chinese censorship has gone. They don't just stop at the press or the internet, they affect all means of communication in China. People who say the wrong thing anywhere or at any time can even be arrested for and charged with "thought crimes". They sent to re-education centers and held there until their captors decide they have been sufficiently re-educated.
Leaving out Chinese military aggression (wolf warriors) and unfair trade practices that to my mind the US allowed them to take. Just looking at what is going on right now in China, it looks to me that the kleptocrats have taken hold of China and it's going to go the way of Russia except their enforcement is more effective.
