I am very surprised. very developed vs developing country
Your opening question itself is wrong.
First, Has PRC beat the virus? Reports of it popping up still occurs.
Second, Even if you accept CCP's reported numbers, it did not beat the virus "easily". It has sealed a city of 10millions to "stop" the virus. Many other cities, counties are sealed to "beat" the virus. Countless PRCs have to suffer to enable this "victory". The impact to its economy and reputation is huge. Compare the before and after of the world's perception of PRC. It went south.
Third, You limit the comparison to US + Europe only. Other countries exist. For example, ROC went many days without new cases. New Zealand have very few cases too. Japan has declining numbers too. Even Singapore seems to have "turned the corner".
