Australia says China won't allow full Rio trial access

CANBERRA, March 19 (Reuters) - Australia said on Friday China had told embassy staff in Beijing they would not be allowed access to all parts of the trial of four Rio Tinto (RIO.AX)(RIO.L) staff on charges of bribery and stealing commercial secrets.

"The government's disappointment has been registered with Chinese officials in Beijing and Canberra," Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in a statement.

"The Australian Government does not propose to make further representations on this matter." (Writing by Paul Tait; Editing by Raju Gopalakrishnan)
