There is hypocrisy but the threat posed by China to the liberal world order is much more serious than the thread posed by Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and in both those cases there is a bit of a deal with the devil.

If the Saudi and Pakistani regimes fall we will probably see much worse things popping up.

Their values are far more regressive than China’s. (Women’s rights, religious freedom)

How is Saudi Arabia less of a threat?
