Easy
They knew it was potentially serious, so they waited until Chinese new year to let their people travel to foreign countries and infect them and then immediately locked down everything to stamp it out in their own country. They took advantage of their mass migration to cripple other countries intentionally.

Because China literally welded people inside their homes and put people on a "We will come and put your entire family in a concentration camp if you go outside while infected" policy.
Its crude, but Locking everyone indoors for 3 weeks WILL kill the virus by making everyone immune.

They also built a hospital for all the minor cases (I.E. everyone not about to die) and basically imprisoned all the lightly infected people in basically a giant building with beds, meaning the infected were less likely to infect their families while sheltering at home.
And while lies about the death toll are one thing, China's repopening Wuhan's shops and businesses: Which they wouldn't be doing if the virus was still present their, they can't lie the virus into not infecting more people.

So they clearly have it under control there, even if they fucked their people over to do it.

It doesn't, but we know for a fact that:

1. China's government has a far greater ability to lie due to their lack of political freedom
2. China's government has already been caught arresting doctors for privately warning each other about the virus back in January
3. China's government is unable to criticize itself or allow dissent

America and Europe are not in such a position. Trump has plenty of critics, top of which is NY Governor Andrew Cuomo, whereas in China everyone just repeats the party line from the top without question. Cuomo even went on TV yesterday to say that Trump was a liar, that the Federal government cannot help, and that the Federal government lacks sufficient supplies to help NY state. This is the exact opposite of what's happening in China where all politicians and official media portray an image of competence. The only deviation is when Chinese technocrats promote conspiracy theories and lies about the virus by suggesting it's an American bioweapon, something so stupid Trump refuses to entertain the equivalent (/pol/'s idea that the virus is a Chinese bioweapon).

It won't when the virus is still around at hospitals and markets, arguably in the water system too. It spreads through people who don't have to abide by such restrictions - police and military officials - who spread it too. And even then, by the time such measures were taken it was far too late - Wuhan had it's chinese new year celebrations despite knowing the virius was happening. It's too late to stop transmission.

China couldn't test everyone turning up to medical facilities. So the rate of increase reflected testing saturation. And the leveling off data is an artefact of the original data set.

China has no idea how many people are infected within their country. The isolation phase would have helped slow the spread. But it's likely that after the isolation, the infection will return. As the virus is still in the environment, it just doesn't magically disappear. Just like influenza...it returns seasonally.

So don't expect this rollercoaster to end anytime soon. Until a reliable vaccine is distributed, it's likely to just be a typical infection cycle.

The funny thing is, that now we could have two seasonal viruses which would continue to undermine this dystopian global economy.

Trump is playing Political dice with the lives of the US citizens: If he sees your state as either loyal or valuable he'll take care of you.

once again, the time that a state gets infected kind of is important: Every state is going to get infected en masse, and a couple of weeks means literal exponential differences in numbers.
The issue is how many of their people SURVIVE. Trump's favoritism towards where medical supplies go is what's going to define which states make it through okay and which ones flounder and die. (Hint: The swing states and red states will be fine. The blue states will be told "Its not my job" to literally do his job and help out states during a disaster.

That's a very interesting theory you have there.
1. You are overestimating the influence of the federal government and underestimating the influence of the state governments
2. Pulling this stunt would be literally impossible to hide. If Trump did try to do this, he would be impeached and jailed.
3. If red and swing states were given the option to experience favoritism, they would refuse. States are not willing to sell each other out in the same manner as EU countries did.

The modern world needs to go to war against China before the end of the year.
We have casus belli and our goal should be to remove and execute their entire government.

We should install a vassal government that reports to our coalition and remove and replace their legal system to match the modern western world.

It will also be a war against culture, we will force a change in culture to prevent this kind of incident from occuring.

And now China actually is collapsing, because they no longer have a consumer to buy their product from. This is a problem with all export-driven economies like Russia and China, and is why they should have done something about it 12 years ago when it mattered. Instead they printed more debt and have no usable tools to contain the economic fallout, whereas Trump can still raise taxes (especially taxes on Chinese imports).

This is the day people have been warning about for a while now, the day the CCP would have to allow political liberalization or be forced out of the western financial system.
