Xi's father was one of the founders of the Communist party in China. And Yet, during Mao's Cultural Revolution in the 1960s Xi's father and mother and family were all killed by the Communist party and Xi was sent to a farm Commune to slave away as a farm worker for many many years as a direct result. However, eventually Xi realized that even though the Communist party had killed all his family that the only way he could actually survive all this was to become a Communist's Communist and so he did. And over time he realized that he could be the next Emperor of China which he has now become.
So, even though his father helped found the Communist party and that party murdered his father and his family and sent him to a commune to work until he died, instead he became "The Emperor of China".
When you hear just how harsh what happened to him was and how he survived it sort of sends chills down your spine at what happened to him.
Because of this it is important that no one underestimates a man who has been through something as horrific as this in his life.
Both China and Russia are based upon "ORDER" over human rights.
Countries that have had a lot of starvation and death often prefer order over human rights so some of them can survive at all. For Americans, who have almost always had plenty it is important to understand cultures where starvation and struggle was all the people had most of the time.
But, underestimating both Xi and Putin and what they both went through in their lives would also be death to the democracies of the world. Both Xi and Putin would do almost anything to survive at this point including destroy all the democracies on earth if they both could.
Understanding this, Democracies just might survive both of them this century.
