They locked down Wuhan real hard in January. Do you think that made things better or worse for China?

Depends on what you mean by 'for China'. Looks to me like they may have mostly rounded up a lot of people who been guilty of future-crime against the CCP. So, if by 'China' you mean the CCP (and their globalist sponsors) then yes, things got 'better'.
It seems quite clear that the creation of the coronavirus, or at the very least one which was almost identical to it, was a joint project between the U.S. and China. This from Breggin's presentation of the 2015 paper. Ergo, they both knew about the SARS-cov-2 and what it could and could not do.
My strongest hypothesis at this point is that China willingly played the role of the 'first victim'. Part of the pay-off is that they could do things within their population that they were ready for (due to their social credit scoring, 5G, etc, etc) but would under ordinary circumstances cause a civil rights backlash. China was allowed to 'come out of' the 'crisis' sooner and capitalize.
The rest of the governments through lockdowns are effectively holding down their peeps in lockdown so the Chinese can ass-rape them. At least that's what it looks like from where I'm sitting. The '
new normal' opens up just enough for the domestic population to ship raw materials to China and buy their plastic garbage.
I don't blame the CCP for this. The thing was/is being planned and choreographed by the United Nations globally, and implemented locally by corrupt institutions. Select universities a lot of times, but also giant corporations under multinational control.
Before anyone 'blames China' they really should review Corbett's analysis from about 5 years ago here:
