Xi Jinping calls himself "the son of the people".
Yet what kind of son tortures and persecutes his own parents?
What son silences the mouths of his parents, locks them away, and treats them as enemies?

Having seized power, he surrounds himself with sycophants and shuns the wise.
Even Nero and Louis XIV, notorious tyrants of the West, would pale beside him.
The despots of ancient China—Xia Jie and King Zhou of Shang—might have been cruel,
but even they would feel ashamed in comparison.
