This is irrelevant, whether such law should exists is a different matter.

USA arrests, say Islamic terrorists, for conduct that occurred outside USA. If you incite acts against USA you will get charged no matter where you are.

nothing to do with whataboutism. It has to do with where you are when you commit the crime. In China doing those things is a crime and it doesn't matter where or who are when you commit the crimes. The same with the USA and I guess most countries
