These are 2 different things that are apples and pomegranates at best - one was closing the boarders to travelers from China; one is allowing travelers from China in that pass a Covid test.
In any case, requiring a Covid test of travelers from China is long overdue.
What about those from china that have flown to another country and then to the US.. ? That was the big problem last time they were coming in from other countries
Easy. That can be tracked through their passport and visa. That gets checked at Customs & Immigration at the airport that are staffed with people lacking a sense of humor. Passenger manifests can also be correlated for tracking purposes - you can bet that's very doable and active since 9/11.
Another question is why China is having a problem with the virus. I thought they had a vaccine that worked they gave to everyone
You've been misinformed.
