Xi is trying to make the people accept him as god himself and God will not be mocked.

In China the Emperor was always seen as a god. In this case Xi wants to be seen as the 2nd Mao. He is already Emperor - as was Mao.
Don’t confuse the Western God with what the Chinese saw as god (lower case). The Chinese were never Christians until the last 300 years - all the 3000 years prior they were Buddhist and other non-christian religions. Now Christianity is prosecuted and persecuted, even to have a Party written Bible.
