How come the West only get involved in human rights violations when that country has a leader that they feel needs to be overthrown?

Answers on a postcard, please.

There have been some moves at the UN - both condemning and supporting China! The scale is incredible - over 1 million Uighers sent to re-education camps out of a population of about 11 million. But other than Trump's on-off love affair with Xi and a few noises over 5G, there isn't a lot of scope to put pressure on. Not that our government and its allies have a great track record of promoting 'human rights' if there is no trade (oil) or political/military strategic benefit in return. They are pretty good at going through the motions though.
