In 2019, Beijing berated George Soros for describing President Xi Jinping as the “most dangerous opponent of open societies”, in remarks that the billionaire financier made during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Billionaire and philanthropist George Soros has again lashed out at Chinese President Xi Jinping, accusing him of turning himself “into a dictator”.
In an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, the founder of the Open Society Foundations claimed that Xi “dictates the policies” he wants the Chinese Communist Party to follow in order “to prevail in 2022”, an apparent reference to the forthcoming 20th National Party Congress, where a government shakeup may take place.
Soros argued that Xi has turned his supporters “into his own yes-men, abolishing the legacy of consensual rule” of his predecessor Deng Xiaoping, who the 91-year-old said, “had a very different concept of China’s place in the world”.

In his quest for personal power, he’s rejected Deng Xiaoping’s economic reform path and turned the Communist Party into an assemblage of yes-men.

In others words what Soros try to say I think it's: "Deng Xiaoping was a good guy because with him China was the cheap labour factory of world. Xi Jinping is dangerous because he wants a China superpower, and a high-quality life standard to his people."
