Thousands are streaming into Hong Kong for the start of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) ministerial conference tomorrow. The last such meeting collapsed in acrimony at Cancun. Will the rifts between rich and poor countries erupt again, and how will the thousands of NGOs that are present respond as the events unfold? 

HONG KONG has prepared itself well, logistically, for the WTO’s ministerial conference, which starts tomorrow and continues to Sunday.
