USA is absolutely a huge hypocrite. But that doesn’t mean other countries are justified for doing the same

Is it the same though? Even if you have major disagreements with the treatment of uyghurs (the actual treatment, not the unsourced adrian zenz propaganda version), it’s not the same as Palestine. I mean come on, look at the decades of apartheid rule and the world’s largest open air prison (Gaza)

Or look at the US’ own treatment of migrants, the deplorable conditions in detention and the arguably worse treatment when they are illegally deported pending their asylum hearing, etc.

Conflating china’s overreaches/missteps with the US’s decades long history of horrible treatment of the third world and even their own citizens is disgusting. You can criticise both without uncritically buying into propaganda, but everyone that is absolutely rabid about china always seems to be “well its bad but totally redeeemable” about the United States which is inarguably a worse force in the world, and far less popular at home too.
