Why not? Just because they're a hypocrite doesn't mean they're wrong.

If we applied that logic to the US we'd ignore everything they have to say about camps in Xinjiang (which Chinese nationals with views that are a mirror image of yours usually do).

They are wrong. It boggles the mind how anyone refused to understand this. Talk about cutting the nose to spite the face.

> we applied that logic to the US (...)

Putting the blatant whataboutism aside, if you were trying to be honest then you'd be complaining that no one had the right to meddle in anyone else's affairs.

But no, to you having a totalitarian and extensively oppressive regime like the Chinese one, which I remind you is right now executing a blatant ethnic cleansing campaign that would impress Nazi germany, is somehow awesome because it's sabotaging the US?
