In the meantime, countries are closing their borders and isolating more than even the most regressive and backwards-looking people could have dreamed of a year ago. Almost no country has a response plan that has anything to do with any other country at all. As an American abroad, it honestly feels like I'm trapped between waiting on uncertain visa extensions and being forced headfirst into the pandemic by returning home.

The best China can do is watch out for themselves, warn others, and send masks once supply allows. Closed borders is more about ensuring people do not flee with the virus in-tow.
