Mao and gang were anything but anti foreigner Hong Xiuquan.
The Chinese Communist Party was 100% Russian origin, 100% Russian money, 100% Russian guidance, 100% Russian objectives and 100% Russian lackey and the classic Chinese Soviet Republic.
The Chinese communists under Mao Zedong generally admired Hong and his movement as a legitimate peasant uprising that anticipated their own.[9] Sun Yat-sen came from the same area as Hong Xiuquan and is said to have identified with Hong since his childhood days.[9]
In 1959 the PRC established a small museum, Hong Xiuquan's Former Residence Memorial Museum (洪秀全故居紀念館), in his birthplace where there is a longan tree planted by him. The museum's plate is written by the famous literary figure, Guo Moruo (郭沫若) (1892–1978). The residence and Book Chamber Building were renovated in 1961.
Hong Xiuquan has been compared to Falun Gong founder Li Hongzhi in that he; rallies a large number of people behind a religious or spiritual cause to challenge the status quo, although Li's political intentions have been of intense debate.
It's got more to do with challenging the authorities - something greatly lacking in Eastern mindset so shaped by Confucius. I don't think much of communism, or any ideology.
