Why should someone stood up to China in the first place ? The UN is not a world government nor a international court, and Human Rights are a series of agreements between states. China is not compelled to agree to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Indeed, China was not compelled to agree to the Declaration of Human Rights, they signed on to it voluntarily.

It was the Republic of China that signed on to it.

Are you suggesting China's official position today is that it is no longer bound by its previous agreement? They could officially withdraw if that were the case. Articles like this from 2008 don't give any indication that they feel that way: https://web.archive.org/web/20160729200250/http://news.xinhu...
