The fact is that everyone makes decisions which contribute to these problems, but everyone is also responsible for trying to be better. China certainly has the right to criticise the US for our foreign policy and for our backsliding on climate change. However we have the right to criticise China for their killing of critically endangered species for medicine that doesn't work.
