China and the United States traded barbs again at the World Trade Organization, with the US ambassador accusing China of technology theft while Beijing’s envoy retorted that the US was “finger-pointing.”

Wednesday marked the second and final closed-door session on the US after a first one.
US Ambassador Dennis Shea sought to re-direct attention on China, saying it would subsidize its industries to squeeze foreign producers and dump products at cheap prices abroad, a transcript of his remarks showed.
