Well I'm gonna be one of the people downvoting all the whataboutism I see, if you have 13 comments doing it that's 13 downvotes.

Immorality in one region isn't excused by immorality in another. If what you mean to say is "This is absolutely inexcusable in China, and inexcusable in the West too" that's fine, but completely irrelevant to the article at hand, but I don't think that's what you're saying.

It's not about agreeing whether or not something is indeed "inexcusable" in one region or another, but understanding things in their context.

One can't fully comprehend an issue without comparing/contrasting it with other scenarios that may be somewhat comparable.
