I have seen this kind of argument a lot. First Chinese start doing something that goes against human rights. Then US notices it and thinks, well the Chinese are getting away with it, perhaps if we keep it really well in secret, we can also do this on larger scale. Then Russia will also start doing it in more open and receives the blame but does not care. Then it hits the fan for the US and Russians start pointing that see, Americans are also doing it. Now everyone wants to do it (well, most of them are doing it already).
