Does american and imperialism justify Russian and Chinese imperialism.

Atleast the US is a democracy respecting human rights not perfectly but much better than Russia and China while Russia and China are authoritarian states running roughshod over basic democratic freedoms and rights.

No. But really, there's not much Russian or Chinese imperialism compared to that other kind. You don't find their search engine running your mind. That's our uncle Sam.

@Roundandroundwego But you do find Chinese financial institutions owning your infrastructure. Also the West seems to be unaware that Chinese influence in Africa is increasing. Eventually the Chinese will control such a large volume of trade that Western countries will simply not be able to compete. And that will largely be our own fault because we have allowed public policy to be determined by short term commercial interests.
