I mean, don't just look at the absolute numbers, arguable China has 1/5 of the world's population.

I believe the argument to be made here is that most parts in China, excluding Hubei, has a lot less cases than Korea or Italy, when Korea's population is about 3-4% that of China. In most provinces in China there were 0 deaths.

Ideally, European countires like Italty are far further away and should have fewer cases than those regions closer to the epicenter, but reality suggest otherwise.

Italy, Hubei, and South Korea all happen to have around ~60M people.

When talking about China's coronavirus response, the numbers really have to be split up into Hubei and non-Hubei.
