    where either of those things here?

    that just shows that china was investing in infrastructure, while US was investing in corruption to funnel more money to the people who need it the least.

      I was referring to whataboutism broadly, and not necessarily in this instance.

      that just shows that china was investing in infrastructure, while US was investing in corruption to funnel more money to the people who need it the least.

      Right, i agree with you, but who was saying otherwise is my point. That’s why i said this is a strawman. “China bad” comments are due to other factors and not infrastructure. This post addresses the China bad comments with “but look at how developed the infrastructure is” whilst the comments are about completely separate things.
