I suspect there are varying views, but enough Han Chinese seem to be fine with him that it's likely not to be too controversial. Kangxi had both Han Chinese and Manchurian parentage which might have helped, and is widely considered the best emperor of the entire Qing Dynasty, so there's also that. I did notice videos on YouTube that had conflicting views--several revering Kangxi and another saying that the Qing Dynasty is not Chinese...but given how eager the Chinese have been to claim say, the Goguryeo, to be Chinese, one would think they have no issue considering the glorious Qing emperors to also be Chinese.
There's also the fact that Kangxi adhered to Confucian ideals, and propogated them in his numerous writings, and he was well-liked by the Han Chinese for his efforts to integrate them into his administration and respect Han Chinese culture.
His leader ability in the game could do with Great Writer and Great Scientist point generation, as he wrote often and frequently (earning a reputation as a "sage emperor" despite the fact he was also an immensely successful warrior who physically led his armies in combat), and he also liked Western science and technology (he was cured by Western medicine at a crucial point in his life, which started his fascination).
