WUZHEN, China: At one of the world's showpiece tech conferences in China, jibes at the United States for its 'bully behavior' lent a Cold War tone to proceedings as trade tensions once again reared its ugly head in an event that drew a dearth of top U.S. executives.

But this year's three-day event, which ended on Tuesday, drew few American luminaries and did not feature a U.S.-China panel like last year, reflecting the heightened tensions between the United States and China. Some attendees told Reuters that they were seeing efforts by the Chinese government to allocate more resources toward the tech sector to compete with the United States.

Still, many speakers including Alibaba chairman Daniel Zhang and Microsoft's Artificial Intelligence & Research executive vice-president Harry Shum, avoided discussing the 'entity list' or other thorny topics publicly.
