Chinese government won't be able to control it. Let's face it.

For Coronavirus there's no difference between humans of one country or another.
If it's a weapon, it's a global population control.
This thing seems to target mostly old people with health issues. The less productive individuals of the society.

The problem with that logic is the unknowns associated with the virus, for all we know there isn't an easy vaccine for it.

I'm quite aware of that.
All I was saying is that with a population of 1.4 billion, China can not only weather a global crisis like that, it could also cull its weakest members at the same time.
Win/Win for their government.
One big uncertainty: how infectious is 2019-nCoV, really? Read’s models estimate that the number of people one victim can infect—known as the virus’s reproduction number—is between 3.6 and 4.0. SARS, by comparison, was between a 2 and a 5, and measles, the most contagious disease known to humans, is a whopping 12 to 18. The higher the number, the less wiggle room public health officials have to break the chain of new transmissions before an outbreak gets out of control. Anything above 1 is bad from a containment perspective.
