US, China face off again at World Trade Organization 3 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy the Associated PressChina and the United States traded barbs again Wednesday at the World Trade Organization, with the U.S. ambassador accusing China of technology theft while Beijing’s envoy retorted that the U.S. was “finger-pointing.”The standoff comes as many countries lined up to criticize and question Trump administration policies in a WTO trade policy review of the United States, a regular process that WTO member states undergo. Wednesday marked the second and final closed-door session on the U.S. after a first one on Monday. “China absolutely refuses to be the scapegoat and excuse for unilateralism and protectionism,” Hu said. “This is the review of the United States, not China.”
