The US has revived a WTO dispute over China's tariff-rate quota system for rice, wheat and corn, saying China failed to comply with a ruling in its favour. Washington has threatened countermeasures, including suspending most-favoured-nation status on some Chinese products.
China says it has taken steps to comply and asked for a compliance panel.
Threatened countermeasures and the reported shortfall of over 30% in Chinese purchases raise trade-tension risk for US grain exports, adding downside pressure on US feed grain demand.
