Just to underscore your point it's worth noting that China was on a long downtrend - reporting merely hundreds of new cases a day by the time they reached 76k cases. Not so much here in the states.The United States now has the most confirmed cases of Coronavirus in the world and Trump wants to open up the country again. Makes tons of sense.
These graphs chart new cases reported per day, red circle indicates the day each country reached 76k total cases.

US:

/that huge spike in china's graph in Feb reflects reporting of a backlog of new cases, not a sudden spike.
