I get that there was a lag between the medical community ringing alarm bells and the communist party acknowledging it but to anyway imply that even remotely compares to incredible and undeniable complete and unrelenting negligence of the west is insane revisionism.
The west was like I wonder why they’re shutting down Wuhan derp derp
Oh Italy’s ICU’s are over flowing with corpses should we do something. Derp.
Oh New York can’t even make room for their dead. Should we close the bars? Derp.
Hundreds of thousand dead should we cancel sporting events? Play ball. Derp. Derp.

I'm not making excuses for the West at all. I'm mainly talking about the period before they shut down Wuhan from December to the last week of January. It's dumb to place the blame entirely on China, and who knows what things would be like if the rest of the world knew a few weeks or a month beforehand. China is slow to wake, but they took extreme measures to contain it in their borders when they did act. Countries like the US don't really have the capability to do things like that (for various reasons).
