Yes, yes. CCP China very bad. But US bunch of hypocrites, historically speaking. In my opinion, this is a great opportunity for the world to use the situation as leverage to keep them both accountable, rather than defend one over the other.

The US does all of these things. Remember the CIA?
One million Iraqis killed by the US. What is that if not genocide. Currently, civilians are being killed by the US every day with their bombings. More civilians being killed every day by their sanctions. It’s genocide.

Sanctions on places like Iran Venezuela are "genocide" in the same sense that silence is violence, i.e. when you don't believe words have meaning, and when you seek to obscure rather than enlighten.
You can arrange words that make the US and China sound morally equivalent, but when you actually look into it to compare the realities in detail, you see how vapid and empty this approach is.
