It is a perception that is so common that its on Wikipedia. Its not just vibes, its researchers, journalists, academics, and other organizations that have a similar perspective.

Yes, it's a perception deliberately pushed in western countries and the english speaking world. I have given you hard numbers and studies, you've told me that westerners think he's bad. That's not exactly a solid case, right?

your hard numbers and studies were based on self reported surveys.

World wide consensus, it could be wrong but I have not seen any evidence that its not. I wont deny that any western source is at risk of bias, that is part of the problem with freedom, people with too much power can buy the stories they want.

Read the links, there is consistent support for the CPC within China. Your only counter is based on vibes and western consensus, who are actively hostile to communists.
