The real hipocrisy here is that this is a state complaining about coercion. The foundation of every state is coercion. And that's not even taking into account the horrors that the Chinese state has caused. Millions starved to death due to agricultural policies, millions of abortions due to the one-child policy -- the list goes on.
Though, the Chinese state is by no means alone in it's coerciveness. The Chinese state focuses on killing it's own citizens, whereas Western nation-states focus on killing foreigners. Neither has any right to complain when they don't get treated fairly.
