Whataboutism is usually saying something like "you can't criticize us doing something bad because other people or possibly you have also done something bad". It was popularized by the Soviet Union which instead of denying the crimes they committed would simply talk about bad things America or other places did. Now China does a similar thing. So for it to be whataboutism, in the traditional sense you would have to say something like: "white people also say bad things, so you can't comment on black people saying bad things". The key to whataboutism is it doesn't deny or even try to claim what was done wasn't bad, it just simply says other people are also bad, so you can't talk about it.
