The typical term for your position is “butwhataboutism”, used to great effect in the Trump era.
So when someone points out something like the suppression of the Uyghurs and you point out “but what about atrocities committed by Western countries?” that’s a distraction where you’re trying to divert attention to an unrelated issue.
The USA committed atrocities against native Americans, engaged in centuries of slavery, interned Japanese citizens in WWII and dropped atomic bombs on civilians. All of that is true. But just because it’s true it doesn’t negate or excuse Chinese human rights abuses.
The typical term for your position is ignoratio elenchi or ignorance of confutation, used to great effect because you confuse my comment as negating human right abuses when it's comparing how human rights are weaponized hypocritically using XJ/US mass internment as examples. Comparable crimes against humanity are selectively interpreted for geopolitical posturing to forward the interest of one tribe over another. The competing tribe can see through the bullshit and calls it out accordingly.
