China has a bigger market than the EU. Does China have more power? I would say China has less influence. Marketsize matters but it is only one of many factors. Remember the British Commonwealth is quite large with Canada, Australia, India, South Africa, etc. These create special relationships that don't exist with the EU. Banning all UK entities, means cutting off all of the Hong Kong relationships, many commonwealth relationships, anglo countries. As important as the EU relationship is. The Anglo alliance of countries holds the true power and it has been this way since WWII.
