You could just, you know... talk to people. I've spent a lot of time in Korea/Japan and in both of those countries Xi is not hyped up to be evil despot that Western media makes him out to be. There's a very good reason why American media specifically tries to make China seem like an evil empire, and it has to do more with data collection from undersea cables than it does good or evil.
If Xi is pure evil, you should be worried about how much investment American companies are receiving from evil CCP-affiliated entities, as well as how much money gets America is spending on evil CCP-sponsored manufacturing...

Pew found that, as of 2020, 84% of Japanese respondents and 83% of South Korean respondents have "no confidence in Xi to do the right thing regarding world affairs," compared to 77% of US respondents.[1]

I'm not sure we have any data on this either way. Most of China doesn't feel like they have the freedom to say anything negative about Xi in any sort of public or recorded way so taking a poll on Xi in China isn't likely to give you a true picture of how people there actually feel about him.
