Why are libs so utterly obsessed with Xi Jinping's personal likes or dislikes? They treat him like some scheming supervillain who is personally involved in every aspect of Chinese life and it's because certain policies make him sad or happy. There can't possibly be a wider Chinese state apparatus or internal social demands directing policy, absolutely not. It's that dastardly Xi the Pooh. I had a coworker a while back who would post Winnie the Pooh on his Facebook several times a week saying like "I bet this pisses Xi off so much."
Is it because Xi Jinping is the only Chinese politician they know? Possibly the only Chinese person they can even name?
There's great man theory and there's... Whatever this is. I'm guessing it's the same impulse libs had on twitter with Trump.
They also cannot imagine a government that is different from their own dysfunctional corporatocracy, where it is unthinkable that a business be fined for breaking business laws.
I think this is the answer I was looking for. They probably get a little rebellious rush feeling like they're committing a crime. They think they're Charlie Chaplin mocking Hitler I guess.

They think Xi is a dictator and that saying something to piss him off is illegal.
They think they're making a statement.

Han Chinese are a hive mind and Xi is the Queen.
