China said the landmark climate-change agreement signed in Paris was “imperfect” in the areas of funding and technology transfer from developed countries to developing nations.

The world’s countries should finalize details of technology innovation, cooperation and transfer in follow-up negotiations, Xie Zhenhua, China’s special representative on climate change, said in a briefing in Beijing on Wednesday. There’s no timetable on the funding support the developed world will provide, he said.
