I can't take the reported figures from China seriously at the start of the pandemic, but it's likely that it now *is* under control there. It's rather a lot easier to control a pandemic when you have effectively total authority to order citizens to stay in their homes, which is what was done in Wuhan over February (with a few exceptions). It was a far stricter lockdown than anything implemented here or in Europe.
I don't think this is a model to aspire to, exactly, in particular because it also followed suppression of the story and intimidation of doctors who first reported it, at least a few of whom (including Li Wenliang) subsequently died of the disease themselves.
