For me it felt allways a bit strange how fast china acted. The virus was very fresh, nothing was known, just a few cases and china totaly locked down millions if people. Two, three months later, when we already had high numbers if cases in the west, lockdowns started in the west also. But everybody said, "we know nothing about this new virus". For me it allways like, china knew much more about the virus early on.

China didn't act fast, they buried their head in the sand and denied it existed until the point where it was undeniable. China didn't start lockdowns until it was clear that their hospitals were going to be completely overwhelmed and that it was spreading fast. If they knew about SARS-CoV-2 they would have done that to begin with instead of jailing doctors for causing alarm.
