Unless Asian countries are erring on the extreme side of caution it seems wise to assume test+tracing is not sufficient for R0<1. Their effective responses all employ techno-authoritarian interventions: wrist bracelets, GPS tracking, publicly releasing travel routes, QR health codes, out of home quarantine etc. This includes democratic countries. There's an ongoing myopia in the west that is failing to fully interrogate the solutions from Asian countries who are doing well in it's full scope and ramifications on liberty and applicability based on appetite for sacrificing liberty. Media is happy to elevate testing and contact tracing, without acknowledging the authoritarian followup. E: I'm just suggesting it's worth discussing the system in aggregate rather than piecemeal.
