Your problem is to simplify China’s anti-epidemic struggle to "a lockdown"
But the fact is:
A central committee responsible to the people, not to the stock market
A central government that has always been responsible to the people,only in that way you won people’s trust
A public medical system rather than private
A compulsory education for all people, so that most people has a basic knowledge of biology
A materialistic social atmosphere that respects science instead of religious beliefs
Communist Party members loyal to the people from all industries, so that the best doctors and engineers from all over the country will form teams and risk their lives to provide medical support and mobile cabin hospitals in Wuhan
Neighborhood committees and village committees responsible for providing all services and help to the community during the lockdown(The welding incident did happen, but there was a neighborhood committee member who was responsible for food delivery and emergency rescue)
From the beginning, tell everyone about the risks of this disease, tell the people "We need your help,staying at home is also fighting for country" instead of deceiving people “this is flu"
The reason socialist countries were successful was entirely that they already have meaningful controls around the movement of people in the country. There were liberal capitalist countries that handled well too, and the biggest similarities was having populations just being isolated from the virus by default.
You have overlooked one point: "massively restricted freedom of movement" requires government and the public respect for science and facts
South Korea is a good example. Their government respects science and uses technology to track movement. When religious organizations started gatherings in ignorance of science, the government took strong measures to stop gatherings, that is how you beat the epidemic
