I think it is a matter of degree. There is a certain degree of shadiness that is acceptable (most of the world) and certain that should not be acceptable (China, saudi Arabia, etc). There is no moral equivalence between the US and China.

In terms of foreign policy, you're right, but not in the way you think. American foreign policy has been 100x as evil as Chinese foreign policy for a long time. The US government invaded Iraq based on a lie, causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. That's just one of many truly evil things the US government has done abroad recently.

There certainly is one if you ask one of the victims of foreign U.S. policy.
My point is, there will always be a perspective from which saying "Don't do business with evil" includes the U.S.
