I think Singapore and Hong Kong (and South Korea) were able to aggressively test (e.g. temperature readings at airports), contact trace (e.g. grab location data off phones), force mobile apps for tracking and checking in, etc. All of that gave them the option of a measured approach.
China had to go full in because they realized they had a uncontrolled pandemic brewing for a month before they took any significant action.
