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.
上周四，一名男子在中国首都的一座桥上悬挂横幅，指责习近平是一个独裁者。
他很快就被拘留了，但他的行动照片传遍了全世界。
自那以后，类似的标志和信息在美国、英国、欧洲、澳大利亚和其他地方的一些大学校园里出现。
美国缅因州科尔比学院的一个手写标语赞扬了这位北京人的行动，并说:”我们中国人想在没有审查的地方传播这个表达我们思想的信息。”
许多人复制了上周在北京海淀区四通桥上展示的信息。
