It would be hypocritical to say someone is wrong while, on the same point, say someone else is right (despite the actions being the same).

It's not hypocritical to say someone is wrong without mentioning all the other people are wrong. You can't list literally every bad thing that happens in every press release, and you can scope criticism.

It's hypocritical for the US to say China's government is wrong because the US government doesn't a lot of nasty things as well.

But they have to be the same nasty for it to be considered hypocritical.
