Like Frownland I am skeptical about China's numbers. The idea that a small country like Italy or Spain could have more/comparable amounts of cases as a country with a billion+ people is suspect.
But even if they did just clamp down severely on their population and that lead to success in combating the virus, the idea that they did so cause they care about their people is also very sketchy. They care enough about them to throw them in concentration camps for being the wrong religion or political ideology. They just care about maintaining order. It's like the old cliche about Hitler that "at least he kept the trains running on time."
