I don't know how to be any more clear this. Using whataboutism is using whataboutism. If I talk about China and you say "but what about US!", that's a whataboutism, because we're not talking about the US. And vise versa. It's a clear attempt to excuse and deflect blame away from the topic at hand and onto someone else.
I'm glad you finally understand.
You can repeat the same nonsense all you want, it's still nonsense. I hope one day your "mind is freed" from comparing everything to the worst possible example as an excuse for bad behavior.
You didn't "point out" anything, you deflected to another country while ignoring the discussion at hand (AKA whataboutism) which is what tankies do every single time. It's almost like you have nothing else...
