"You can criticize both Washington AND Beijing."
Okay. But you don't. Or if you do you don't criticize them proportionately to how bad they are. The US today is indisputably far more destructive than modern China; do you criticize it far more? Most westerners don't.

The US has killed millions and displaced tens of millions in its still-ongoing post-9/11 wars. It's circling the planet with hundreds of military bases and working to destroy any nation which disobeys it. Nothing China is doing comes anywhere near this level of evil.
Very few westerners apply this level of criticism to the US. Most westerners ignore US imperialism altogether while rending their garments about Hong Kong or Xinjiang or whatever they're instructed by the mass media to be upset about today.
Because of western propaganda, Beijing is criticized far more than Washington, when if criticism were proportionate to actual misdeeds it would actually be the other way around. Washington is far, FAR more deserving of criticism. It's because of this imbalance that I focus there.
Lines like this are just objectively, quantifiably false as outlined above, but because of propaganda even westerners who are more lucid than your average member of the populace assume they are true.
