[@EconomicsExplained]

It has to be noted that alot of Macau's success can be linked to money laundering. Wealthy Chinese citizens are limited in the ammount of money they can send overseas, this means that anybody looking to move out of China will have issues bringing their wealth with them. A solution is to buy a $10,000,000 holiday package at one of these Macau casino's that includes a fancy room, flights, meals and ohhh lets say 10 million dollars worth of casino chips. Gamble thorugh all of that and you are likely to loose a bit to the house advantage but you will probably still walk away with 90% given average luck. Suddenly you have just generated an income of 9 million dollars in macua which is specifically not mainland china and you are free to have these winnings sent anywhere in the world without the CCP being able to stop you.

@@yukshunlong9456 I wouldn't put it like that, but more as 1.Portugal could barely handle the state of their mainland country, 2. as part of the "decolonizing" process, which became part of the constitution, Portugal had to handover, or grant independence, to all territories that were not the Portuguese mainland and the archipelagos of Madeira and Azores (since they we actually discovered by the Portuguese). The fact that China refused to regain control of Macau in the 70s actually forced Portugal to create a specific legislation for Macau until China was ready. Although I understand why you would feel like that.

[@carolinavarela1572]

Portuguese have benefits in macau. China agreed to accept partial dual citizenship in macau with portugal. A child born in macau to a portuguese legal resident is automatically a permanent resident as well as the child of a chinese but not any other nationality unless the parents possess right of abode themselves. Macau stil has portuguese as one of official languages its cantonese and portuguese.

United kingdom did not issue uk passports to hong kongers but portugal granted them full eu citizenhip and those passports remain valid to day because portugal negociated with china to partially allow dual citizenship.

Portugal did propose that the handover happen in the 450th anniversary of their lease of Macau, somewhere between 2003 and 2004. This plan happened after China did reject their handover plan in the 1970s shortly after the Carnation Revolution.

5:07 The source of this joke is the various foreigners while vlogging about Brazil or a Brazilian theme, often says: "I don't speak Brazilian very well" 💁🏻‍♂️

[@studiosnch]

Just a correction: after the Carnation Revolution in Portugal, the Portuguese government were actually begging to PR China that the handover happen sooner, but China was postponing it later since they do not want to spoil the Hong Kong handover, which was more geopolitcally important for them. Also Portugal wanted it to happen in 2003/2004, on the 450th anniversary of the lease of Macau, but China was not patient enough to wait for that long anymore. Hence the Macau handover happened on 1999.

You neglected to mention that the reason Macau has such high revenue is because it is one of the only "legal" ways to convert RMB into other currencies. China imposes limits on how much money you can convert into a different currency as to not devalue their own currency too much. So there are a lot of millionaires in China and they want to change it into a more reliable currency they go to macau, gamble, and turn their chips into HKD then turn the HKD into USD or EURO or YEN. The majority of large gamblers from mainland to Macau are using this loophole and see the "loss" at the tables as a fee to do business. This is the reason the most popular game is Baccarat because of the high win to loss ratio. China is getting more and more upset with this because they see millionaires do this run in Macau and then while they are in Hong Kong they apply for citizenship there or in another country. They end up taking their money out of China and bring it somewhere else. China has been figuring out how to crack down on that and they are looking towards Hong Kong to try and stop the expatriation of funds. China has been cracking down on the amount of visas they give out to go to macau and in general casinos have seen a revenue crash of about 25% in the last 4 years. That is one of the reasons for Hong Kong becoming more mainland "friendly".

In the video it kinda seems like it was a half assed agreement in the 90's, after the hand-over of Hong Kong.

Didn't the renunciation of the perpetual lease happen only after the Carnation Revolution?
