As someone who tried to follow it somewhat closely in the early days, the entirety of the lockdown debates were based on the early case fatality rate data which people were unable to properly contextualize, and then later the treatment protocols changed and probably the virus itself changed, and the death rates started to plummet. So ultimately we aren't dealing with the same threat that we were. People were going off the best available data at the time, and coming up with solutions of varying quality.
China may have propagandized their response as the best, in a way that was reacting to events, not orchestrating them from the beginning. This seems true even if the lab origin hypothesis is true
China took its own decisions to respond to the virus over its own territory.
How other countries responded is their problem and responsibility. Most, if not all, Western countries were utterly unprepared and must take responsibility. Countries that were prepared and had a plan (e.g. Korea, Taiwan) fared much better.
Lately I feel that many articles out of Australia are just crass anti-China 'propaganda', this one certainly is through spreading a ridiculous conspiracy theory.

Full of Right-Wing propaganda. Believe it if it suits you.
Like Fox News (another of his stable), it's legally classed as 'entertainment' and "not obliged to be truthful" -Florida Court verdict.
