Last Thursday, a man strung banners across a bridge in China’s capital that accused Mr Xi of being a dictator.
He was quickly detained but photos of his action spread around the world.
Since then similar signs and messages have appeared on several university campuses in the US, UK, Europe, Australia and elsewhere.
One handwritten sign at Colby College in the US state of Maine praised the Beijing man’s action and said: “We, people of China, want to spread this message that speaks our mind in places without censorship.”
Many replicate the messages displayed last week on the Sitong bridge in Beijing’s Haidian district.
Overseas, many anti-Xi posters were put up by Chinese students like Jolie, who have long learned to keep their critical political views to themselves due to a culture of fear. Under Xi, the party has ramped up surveillance and control of the Chinese diaspora, intimidating and harassing those who dare to speak out and threatening their families back home.
At noon on October 13, Beijing time, banners were hung on an overpass at Shitongqiao (People’s University Station) in Beijing expressing dissatisfaction with the CCP’s rule and calling for strikes and school closures. Banners were hung, local traffic was paralyzed, and China has now blocked the incident on all platforms.北京时间10月13日中午，北京市石通桥（人民大学站）立交桥上悬挂横幅，表达对中共统治的不满，呼吁罢工、停课。横幅被悬挂，当地交通瘫痪，中国现已在所有平台上封锁了这起事件。
The banner reads:
strike! strike! ousted dictator Xi Jinping!
Eat uncensored and free from control!
Don’t lie, respect, don’t reform, reform!
Leaders don’t ask for votes, don’t be a slave to be a citizen!
