At the risk of being accused of whataboutism, I raise you the $300 million "Countering Chinese Influence Fund" https://www.axios.com/senate-china-bill-474f96f1

  That can't be propaganda, because it is from the US. Only the Chinese and Russians do propaganda, primarily through sneaky television stations that are openly owned by the state and think they have a right to broadcast opinions on US politics.

  That's legit, not whataboutism. But if you look at how the money is spent, they are definitely not the same thing. It's the difference between China spending $1B to control the Spratley Islands while US spending $1B to make sure they are free and navigable by anyone.
