I think in the long run China will suffer. The environmental damage any top down government makes on its country is sort of a symptom of their "success". Its a complicated thing, but all of China is continually suffering for but a 1% of the Communist regime.
People think the same happens in the west, but no where near what happens in China.
A good Youtube show about China is ADV China by a South African guy and an American guy. They lived in China for a very long time and have good insights into the reality of China "on the ground" opposed to anything I have ever read about China. I have been watching them for about 5 years and have learned more about China from them than I ever have reading news or even historical or social books about China.

If some one accidently knocked you over and you broke your wrist-would you think:
"I want to buy bandages,a splint and pain killers from that person!"
(Thats if you think China accidently introduced the virus to the world.)
If you think it was not an accident-I.e. they continued international travel even after closing their own internal borders due to the virus,well then that is more akin to buying your medical supplies from the bully who tried to beat you to death.
Which is the option many governments have chosen.
Great huh?

A laboratory at Oxford University – part-funded by the MoD via the top-secret institution based at Porton Down – has nurtured a crucial link with a Chinese military university and passed on our knowledge.
