UK as a member of the EU, is actually NOT allowed to make any trade deals with countries like the US and China. Trade deals have to be negotiated by the EU itself for all EU members.

The EU is currently trying to negotiate a US trade agreement though, but pretty much everyone seems to be against it that isn't involved in the negotiations directly.

ummm.... https://www.gov.uk/government/news/chinese-state-visit-up-to-40-billion-deals-agreed

Mike is right, the UK is only allowed to make it's own trade deals with markets the EU doesn't already have them with. There is no free trade deal currently between the EU and China, so the UK is allowed.
