But killing tens of thousands of people is Whataboutism?
Liberalism in a nutshell.
If the Chinese killed them, it's relevant to a discussion about China. If the US killed them, it's not relevant unless it caused some reaction within China.
You cannot engage about the rightness/ wrongness of Chinese domestic policy without stopping to bash the United States. That is Whataboutism.
Perhaps your goal is really just to point out America's hypocrisy, but you certainly go out of your way defending China's actions if that is your goal.

Why would a country worried about its sovereignty and domestic security be worried about a neighboring territory bulking up its military in their backyard? You can analyze the US policy towards Cuba by considering the Cuban Missile Crisis and its consequences. Why would Chinese politicians not have similar concerns with Taiwan and respond in kind? Why would Chinese policymakers be obligated to ignore the history of Cuba when making their own Taiwanese policies?
