As said in another thread, China tried to suppress the reports and keep the numbers low, but they have taken containment efforts seriously, and shared the viral genome information with the world in record time.
Meanwhile the US has voted against an emergency paid leave bill, is behind the curve on testing kits, and seems more concerned with the health of the stock market than slowing infection.
And delegating the issue to Jared Kushner on top of that....
China's response is better.
On another note, I think Japan is also trying to suppress the number of reports because of Olympics 2020

"Legitimacy is based on three things. First of all, the people who are asked to obey authority have to feel like they have a voice—that if they speak up, they will be heard. Second, the law has to be predictable. There has to be a reasonable expectation that the rules tomorrow are going to be roughly the same as the rules today. And third, the authority has to be fair. It can’t treat one group differently from another.” Malcolm Gladwell
