Donald was in the midst of a trade war with China spanning years and has been critical of the US economy's reliance on Chinese manufacturing since the start of his term. The UK, thanks to Brexit, has been
openly, and desperately, seeking trade deals and agreements from non-EU sources. Boris has been very, very keen to forge strong links with China to the extent that he even flat out refused best-buddy-Trump when Trump strongly suggested that the UK should abandon its 5G infrastructure deal with Huawei.
The reason the UK government was hesitant to close off travel to and from China was purely diplomatic. It was PR.
