Sure and what's the problem with that?

If you can't explain why country A doing X is bad but country B doing similar thing isn't it probably means you don't have a good argument.

There's a whole wikipedia article discussing how it is both a logical fallacy and how it is often used as a tool of propaganda.

Please don't engage in whataboutism. One should be able to criticize China's actions without calling into discussion actions of other nations.

Do you go about threads criticizing US govt actions drawing parallels to similar actions in other regimes like China or Russia?
