By Western values, China is evil and America, despite it's many faults, is not. So there is no contradiction here.
For example, take the Western value of freedom of conscience. China does not believe in that and forces those who disagree with its regime to renounce their beliefs (for example, their religion). The West finds this abhorrent. In any western country, such things would be unheard of.
So again, by western values, China is evil. Thus, any policy that prioritizes china is a bad one, whereas policies that prioritize the United States can be evaluated on their other merits / demerits.
Agree or disagree, your attempt to point out hypocrisy relies on moral equivocations that are false by any world view.
