Time's Nomination of Han Han Rankles

Xinhua news agency reported on Tuesday that Han Han is on Time's list of 200 candidates vying for 100 spots on its annual lineup of the world's most celebrated "leaders, artists, innovators and icons."
...Does Han really merit being put on a pedestal? Isn't it ludicrous to compare him to Lu Xun, the great forerunner of modern Chinese satirical prose, as some of Han's fans are doing now?

while this article is certainly well-meaning, i am completely baffled as to the logic of this bit from the concluding paragraph.
