This is a very naive observation which assumes that any atrocities commited in China or Africa are strictly the fault of the west...
I don't know if the CIA ever mingled with Chinese politics - I doubt it. But Africa, brah, we have a bad history of what the western world in general has done in that continent, whether directly or indirectly or proxies.
No one claimed the west is perfect. The claim that other parts of the world are (or would be, if only that pesky west didn't interfere) is, however, ridiculous.
Sure, you keep telling yourself that over the sound of denying the Tiananmen Square massacre, cozying up to Russia, everything about Taiwan, the Uyghurs and the sweatshops.
I'm just going to stay in Europe, if you don't mind.
