Extreme jingoism is more like threatening to invade your closest ally of 150 years because of woke, that's just sparkling imperialism

I don't disagree but that's just whataboutism.

No, it's describing an actual example. This is why whataboutism is a disputed fallacy, you realize.

Though one might point out that while Xi publicly denounces hegemony and extreme nationalism there's quite a lot of jingoist rhetoric pushed through other means, not to mention saber rattling over territory, that's still a far cry from the head of state threatening to invade your neighbors just because.
