NK and other dictatorial regimes suck. Western democracies that attempt to lean into authoritarianism also suck. We need to trend more toward free, open and democratic societies globally. Suggesting that dictatorships are fine because western governments occasionally do similar things isn't helpful - it is a purely apologist take. Of course, that is just my opinion, if you like dictatorships, please state it plainly.
The problem with extremist takes like yours, is they remove any nuance, to the point of covering for other equally "anti-human" acts that eventually pop up.
Take the falun gong cult, or Scientology of the east for instance.
They were protected and given special status in New York and now spend a large amount of their time spreading nonsense propaganda about not just China but supporting extremists right wing parties globally.
No one in the US even bothered to cover them until they were banned for trying to spend 20millon on pro-trump ads in 2020.
And guess what they own most of the leading YouTube channels about China and are the gateway to anyone curious about how China functions.
I'll know, since I was watching one of their channels since 2010 and only found how how much fake made up stuff they made up only much later.
Same thing happened with how ISIS was formed due to the sheer ignorance of the decision makers.
