This is exactly what you expect to happen when efforts at containing the virus have been successful: the number of new cases gradually tapers off, until it reaches 0 or almost 0, and most new cases are due to people coming from areas of the world in which it's still raging.

The outbreak started earlier in China, and it's thus unsurprising to see that they reached this point earlier than in other countries.
