If it's true it could be good news for China but not for the rest of the world where Chinese methods won't be used.
The Chinese figures are under-reported both for infections and deaths. Anyways, it's not over yet. The figures will keep on increasing and if containment measures are relaxed, there could be a renewed outbreak, if not this season, then the next. The country can't continue under lockdown indefinitely.
Today, the figures of new infections for China were for the first time lower than those for the rest of the world. While Chinese figures may really be higher, the rest of the world will have even more unreported cases. There could be thousands or tens of thousands in Iran and millions in Africa. It'll burn through the conflict zones of the MENA with authorities doing little to stop the spread. From there it'll spill over into Europe. The virus won't be kind to refugees.
Now, I really start to worry about the US.
