Whataboutism doesn't really apply when pointing out a double standard. It's true that both places shouldn't do the bad thing, but it's more about the individual's reaction to that thing depending on who does it. The average US citizen will criticise the CCP for doing plenty of the same things their government currently does, or has done in the past, that they support.
