> Whataboutism or whataboutery (as in "what about…?") is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy, which attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving the argument https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism
The American media is attempting to frame China as worth of fighting over Taiwan by demarcating it as exceptionally evil by demonstrating that it does things that no acceptable country would do. Unfortunately for that argument, usually the US is doing something more exceptional and extreme than the demonstrated behavior.
Actually, it's almost always the opposite.
CCP requiring Chinese companies to hand over all user data unencrypted > USG occasionally sending NSLs to specific companies for information on specific persons.
CCP stealing IP from the US, EU, Japan, and other countries > ???.
CCP Operation Fox Hunt[1] > ???.
CCP police threatening the family of a student in the US speaking about Tianamen Square[2] > ???.
CCP hiring massive numbers of 50c posters to write hundreds of millions of social media posts under false aliases > USG operating Free Radio Asia with the explicit notice that it's controlled by the government.
CCP restricting children to three hours of video games a week > USG preventing those under age 21 from smoking or drinking.
CCP massacring unarmed students in Tiananmen Square with tanks > ???.
CCP censoring all information about Tiananmen Square inside the Great Firewall > USG asking newspapers not to publish classified information.
CCP operating a concentration camp in Xinjing with about a million people indefinitely in it for no reason other than their religion > USG holding a few thousand refugees in cages for a limited time until they can be returned to their country because they crossed the border illegally.
CCP blackmailing various companies for stating that Taiwan is a separate country > ???.
CCP invading Taiwan for holding the former rulers of the country that fled after a bunch of murderous revolutionaries overthrew the government and killed millions of people > USG invading Afghanistan to find a terrorist group that flew planes into our buildings and killed thousands. (note that in the first case, the perpetrators (or associates thereof) are doing the invasion, while in the second case, it's the victims).
In almost every single case that China is doing something bad, America's equivalent is either far less bad or nonexistent.
Even beyond that - no country is perfect (especially not the US), but when the USG (or governments of most other countries) does something bad, the citizens usually get angry about it, and the officials responsible either try to hide or eventually reverse course. With the CCP, the citizens defend it, and the officials claim that they're actually doing the right thing, deny that it exists at all (e.g. the Uyghur concentration camps), or counter with misinformation.
