The Obama administration launched its 15th challenge against Beijing at the Word Trade Organization, amid the new tensions with China. The move was taken in wake of a long-simmering debate over practices which United States officials say limit American farmers' ability to export wheat, rice and corn to the Asian powerhouse.

The administration said in a statement, it is trying to hold China to its commitment to allow set quantities of grain and corn to enter the country subject to a lower tariff rate. China agreed to the terms when it joined the WTO.

United States Trade Representative Michael Froman said China's policies "limit opportunities for US farmers to export competitively priced, high-quality grains to customers in China."

"The United States will aggressively pursue this challenge on behalf of American rice, wheat, and corn farmers," he said.

Rep. Mike Conaway, the Texas Republican said that, "We have been sounding the alarm, and I am pleased to see USTR taking action to hold China accountable." said
