Macau marks 25 years since return to China

Macau will on Friday (Dec 20) mark 25 years since it returned to China in 1999, after more than 400 years’ rule by the Portuguese. The special administrative region, like Hong Kong, has been hailed by Beijing as the exemplary child of its “one country, two systems” governance. CNA's May Wong travelled to Macau to find out the challenges ahead for the city, and how it aligns itself to China's national development plan.

Not many people know that the GDP per capita in Macau is USD 130,000, ranked 2nd in the world, and higher than Qatar.

[@zill8021]

Go and do fact check it is 78K. Not the figure you describe. If depending on casino and tourism for boom, it is not sustainable in the long run. They must be hit now with China slowdown.

Taiwan should also be a SAR too

Do the taiwanese want that? Any decision must always come from the people.

I am pretty sure those Portuguese sailors who first came to Macau all those years ago, one of them was surnamed Gomes.

After 3 years of Zero-Covid lockdown and the property sector meltdown, the Chinese 🇨🇳 people struggled to afford buying groceries, let alone gambling in Macao.

[@VinayWebstar]

Macao needs to retain it's own currency and peg it directly to Euro 💶 exchange rates to prevent Chinese Central Bank intervention and meddling into local politics. Portugal should increase its financial and domestic presence to encourage Macau to retain independence, and also encourage local industry like NEV & factories

U got Macau passport
