That's called a Whataboutism. It doesn't address nor make any point.

Its a crude deflection.

One countries atrocities are not an excuse for other to follow their suit

It's not whataboutism when GP is not-so-subtly accusing China of being the root cause of the problems with the UN. The point it that the problems run much deeper than that.
