A nuclear fusion reactor in China, dubbed the "artificial sun," has broken its own record to bring humanity one step closer to near-limitless clean energy.
They weren’t just asking China to be more humane, though. They were suggesting that China doesn’t deserve our cooperation because they are inhumane, which implies we have the moral high ground and is explicitly hypocritical. It isn’t whataboutism to point out hypocrisy.
More humane like Nazi-America, or more humane like Warcrimes-Russia? Description unclear, please clarify.
To clarify, what you’re doing is “what-aboutism”. Asking China to be more humane is not a comment on anything but China being more humane.

There’s a lot of assuming, implying, and suggesting in that take. The original just said if they were more humane we would work with them.
You don’t at all see how that implies moral superiority? Or are you just giving them the benefit of the doubt?
The problem is holding China to a higher standard than we hold ourselves to.
Honestly China might start looking moderate compared to what I expect our new Dear Leader to do in the coming years.
China could stand to be more humane, but it wouldn’t make the US cooperate with them.
Try to read up and understand what whataboutism means. Because you clearly didn’t get the point of my comment.
You brought up other societies as compared them to us. It’s the definition of what-aboutism, just read up on it again to make sure.
More humane like the best of us wish to be and the majority of us never will be
More humane as in respecting human rights I suppose
Is there a state that is not disrespecting human rights ? I for one haven’t heard of any.
Degrees in hell maybe.
