To be honest I don't really want to criticize China here, but rather the slipshod way in which countries are being compared. Wuhan has been in lockdown for almost two months now. Italy's national quarantine is only a week old. The number of detected active infections is delayed with respect to the actual number of infections, so it takes time for the effects of a quarantine to be visible in the data. What is the point of taking two countries at different points in the curve and presenting one as a shining success story and the other as the worst-case scenario?
