Yes, it should. It absolutely should.

The United States making questionable decisions and behaving recklessly and dangerously as a country does not suddenly make China any better.

China is as worse as the United States, if not more worse, by many measures.

Hmm.. how many illegal wars has Xi started, just in his most recent term of office?

China is nowhere near as bad as the US at this point. The rest of the world is changing lanes to not be implicated in your car crash of a country.

It absolutely does make China better relatively, i.e. by comparison to the US.

Many of the criticisms previously leveled at China are now similarly applicable to the US in a way that they weren’t previously. Human rights violations? The US is currently the major global supporter of an ongoing genocide, and it even kills and deports its own citizens for political reasons. Political opponents are investigated by the state. When it comes to wars and other interference with other countries - like kidnapping a president - the US is far worse than China at the moment.

In which ways is China “more worse” right now?
