The article reports that various trade tarrifs will probably disappear under a new plan approved at the World Trade Organization's conference in Hong Kong. According to the author, the plan is the biggest trade concession by the advanced industrial economies to the poorest countries in many years. The move is intended to help developing countries in Asia compete with China's ever-growing export machine. The author suggests that many businesses will continue to struggle despite the ending of tariffs.
