An article published by the Wall Street Journal—written by liberal philanthropist George Soros—named the leader of the Communist Party of China, President Xi Jinping, as “the most dangerous enemy of open societies in the world”. Soros stated “I consider Mr. Xi the most dangerous enemy of open societies in the world. The Chinese people as a whole are among his victims, but domestic political opponents and religious and ethnic minorities suffer from his persecution much more. I find it particularly disturbing that so many Chinese people seem to find his social-credit surveillance system not only tolerable but attractive.”
