People won't mess with the Chinese authorities - you've raised an interesting point. The UK isn't equipped to enforce such a situation - look at the London riots for instance. Amplify that and what do you have?
However the UK public services being unable to enforce such a situation doesn't mean that a quarantine isn't the most effective way to manage it. Simply that we're a nation of fools who think we know better.

I used a similar line with the Scottish Greens yesterday.

I'm not sure I'm following this Chinese discussion correctly.
Once the Chinese government agreed on a policy of containment they implemented a number of things ranging from:
Enforcing a rule where everyone must stay at home with only one person being allowed to the shops every other day.
Putting police and military checkpoint at city entrances.
Using flying drones to monitor and dispense orders to people below.
In some cases, welding the doors shut on people's flats.
Suffice it to say, there were no large gatherings when they decided to stop them.
