I think you misunderstand. OP was saying if China had acted better, maybe COVID-19 wouldn't have spread in the first place. Maybe they could have contained it before it reached other countries or Chinese provinces. I doubt that could have happened, but it could have significantly slowed COVID-19's spread.
