"China could have supressed the whole pandemic." <-- There's no evidence for this, and massive evidence against this.

I think that these questions actually come down to 'would the Chinese government, even acting earlier, have taken the kind of massive suppression efforts needed to stop spread, given the knowledge it had?' and the answer is 'probably not'

The US was doing nothing even when China was in lockdown. I flew back from China after they locked down Wuhan, when the whole country of China was knowingly on alert, and just waltzed into the US. Zero controls at the border by our government.

That’s not China’s fault. I was stunned the US wasn’t doing border temperature checks at immigration. They were doing nothing. 0m flights in from China.
