Hungary’s interior ministry claimed the deal would improve safety in tourist hotspots or during events that attract large numbers of spectators.

But the plan has drawn criticism from those concerned the agreement will be abused by communist China, which has a lengthy record of human rights abuses.

The patrols could be the first step to establishing secret police stations or used to intimidate the overseas Chinese community, they warned.

If I defended China it would have been. But I didn’t. What aboutism is a rhetorical tactic to belittle the offenses of one group by pointing out similar enough offenses of another. Fuck China fuck the United States. The United States having done it doesn’t make China doing it any better. Or vice versa. I literally said that in the first couple of sentences.

Simple comparison isn’t whataboutism. Just like your disingenuous attacks are not good faith effort to debate.
