You mean flights specifically chartered by the US and British governments to evacuate their citizens and their family from Wuhan?

It is all in the articles you linked.

I specifically wrote "but letting international departures".

implying China allowed the flights to leave so they can infect the rest of the world, when in fact China did stop international flights from leaving, but the US, UK governments lobbied hard for these repatriation flights due to their own domestic politics.

Why wouldnt they want citizens returning while WHO kept claiming its not a big deal? but China knew how bad it was.
