China says Washington wiped out Native Americans, raves about "hat of genocide"

It's also a logical fallacy using Presentism. That is, what Xi is doing is justifying China's genocide by claiming the US has done far worse in the past. It is a variant of the Historian's fallacy where present day social, legal, and moral norms are applied to the past. With Presentism, social, legal, and moral norms of the past are applied to the present. It is also something of a Tu Quoque fallacy ("You too") where the party using it tries to claim the other party is equally guilty of the same thing.
So, what Xi is doing is arguing that in the distant past the US (supposedly because his numbers and the causes are wrong too) committed genocide against the native population of America, therefore the US can't criticize China for committing genocide in the present.
Of course, morons like Joke Biden or Cum Queen Hairless won't recognize this for what it is and will either shut up or otherwise stop criticizing China for their human rights abuses.
So, what TA does is argue that in the distant past the Democratic Party supported slavery and Jim Crow, therefore the Democrats can't criticize Conservatives for being racist in the present.

This is a formal logical fallacy called the Fallacy of Four Terms
Support for slavery and Jim Crow laws does not necessarily involve racism as a motive.
You also present this in the form of a Strawman since I have never brought up the argument you make or advocated in any way for it.
And, of course, your reply is also a Red Herring fallacy since it has nothing to do with what Xi in China said or implied.
Racism is the primary motive for slavery and Jim Crow in the US.
Fine. Swap you out for any other Conservative and the statement remains true.
It's not a red herring because I'm not trying to get away from the subject, I'm just pointing out that the tortured logc employed by Xi here is the same tortured logic whenever anyone mentions "The Democratic Party supported the Klan", or variations of that.

I do believe we'll have a National Health Service but it will a century after everyone else has one.
We were, after all, the last western nation [other than Brazil--yippie!] to have slavery.
Some things are inevitable, but in America, they're inevitably late.
We're a socially regressive country...period.
It is China striking back at the Biden Administration calling Uyghurs persecution genocide, so I doubt there is an apology to China coming.
Somehow I doubt this adult conversation is for you, but I will try:
Calling the Uyghurs persecution genocide is a bit of a stretch. They are not being killed in mass to get rid of a people. Their culture is being destroyed, which is not exactly genocide. But it does meet the more general definition of genocide that the UN gave, so Biden went with it.
China has a difficult comeback. A lot of what happened to the Native Americans can easily be called genocide. Our defense is that it happened a long time ago.
Somehow that always seemed even more evil. There were Nazis who supported the Holocaust, but had no problem with Jews. They admitted Jews were just like everyone else. They saw personal benefit in killing millions of people like themselves, so they did it.
It's a good thing those armed DEMOCRAT insurrectionists didn't succeed in their attempts to storm the United States capital, then, or we might still have it, Dicklick.
Too bad they don't call them out about Tibet, Taiwan, the "reeducation camps" where they pretty much just kill folks, Hong Kong... Well, about a billion human rights violations...
China has been called out at various times -sanctions for Hong Kong and Tibet as well
From Jan-Mar 2020, you were loving China and repeating Trump's praise for China and Xi.
By the President NotTrump administration? He ran on a platform of "China's policy is equal to ours in every way"... I just don't see it happening.
Link us up, you made a claim about somebody. If dukkha has been doing that you should be able to find a myriad of posts with examples. If you can't, then you are just trolling.
How about you eat my ass?
So, now we know you are just trolling. Got it. I'll keep that in mind.
You're just mad because I don't treat your friends with any respect here.
Many of my friends here are liberal. Which of them have you treated with disrespect? You make a habit of saying stupid things trying to get folks angry at you and failing at it. You're not only a troll, you are bad at it. I often feel sorry for you.
