Whataboutism doesn't really apply when pointing out a double standard. It's true that both places shouldn't do the bad thing, but it's more about the individual's reaction to that thing depending on who does it. The average US citizen will criticise the CCP for doing plenty of the same things their government currently does, or has done in the past, that they support.

Furthermore, it's important to note that when this kind of thing happens, people treat it as China's government's fault, but when Tesla cars explode, people don't consider that the US government's fault.

I hardly remember what I was doing 5 seconds ago. Sure, that's more complicated than a number, and I think about my age rather frequently so remembering it is rather easy, but storing anything for a year and remembering it when I haven't thought about it for a while is difficult.
