They launched an illegal war of aggression that killed hundreds of thousands in Iraq. They have their hands in the mass slaughters that continue to rage on in Syria and Libya.
Where was the concern about "authoritarian rule" in France where Macron (a US ally) was cracking down on the yellow vests? Where was it when Saudi Arabia tortured, killed, and dismembered a Washington Post contributor? The faux-moralism on the part of Americans is gag-inducing. But hey, Canadians are just as willfully blind and self-righteous.

Agree with everything you say about the USA, but your argument is essentially two wrongs make a right. The USA has done bad things, so therefore what China does it just fine. Also there were many people upset about Macron. The majority of Americans viewed Trump's reaction to Khashoggi's murder as wrong. Just because Trump did nothing, doesn't mean Americans don't care.
