No ones pretending anything, it's just irrelevant whether it's there or not.

If the population is vaccinated or has anti-bodies through infection. If people now getting infected are mostly only getting a mild disease they can manage at home.

What good is testing? What meaning does it have? what decisions would be made from it?

It’s already been proven the countries with the best economic response are those with the best public health responses. They should focus on the economy by doing it right, not taking short cuts. Hong Kong have banned travel from the UK, given we keep being told the economy means we can’t close our borders the same principle applies in reverse surely - we rely on other countries keeping them open to us.
Given the current political tensions between China & the UK, I wouldn't be so sure that decision is 100% on Public Health grounds
