That’s a poor comparison, Hong Kong and North Korea are vastly different circumstances. If we’re looking at human rights violations (North Korea), then the world stage should be involved, not a singular country. The Hong Kong circumstance isn’t a human rights violation, more of a diplomacy incident. What about mass surveillance, isn’t that a human rights violation? I would like it to be, but if that were the case, there are few places in the world to go to. Sure China is most explicit and egregious, but we have to have international court rulings before we begin to condemn and sanction based off surveillance (with many participating countries being hypocritical to an anti-surveillance ruling)

"Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people," This is in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Imposing a dictatorship on free people is a violation of human rights. https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/ https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/
