  • Overview of the Macao Special Administrative
    OVERVIEW OF THE MACAO SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION IN 2018 2018 was a critical year for continuing progress with implementing China’s 13th Five Year Plan, and marked an important interim stage of the implementation of Macao’s first Five-Year Development Plan. The Government fully supported the strategic development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Greater Bay Area), implemented the Framework Agreement on Deepening Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Cooperation in the Development of the Greater Bay Area, leveraged Macao’s advantages to serve our country’s needs, and achieved organic integration of Macao’s five-year development plan with local governance and development of the Greater Bay Area, to participate in national development. During the year, the Chief Executive attended the first plenary meeting of the leading group for development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The Government established the Working Committee for the Development of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, to coordinate Macao’s engagement in the short-, medium- and long-term overall design of the Greater Bay Area and related deployments. The Chief Executive visited nine cities of the Greater Bay Area in phases, leveraged Macao’s advantages to proactively establish connections, and cooperated with sister cities of the Greater Bay Area, to promote Macao’s adequate economic diversification. Macao followed the principle of making progress while ensuring stability. In 2018, the Government commenced formulating the Ten-year Plan for Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (2019-2028), developed short-, medium- and long- term plans to cope with typhoon and safety issues, and proceeded with the legislation process for the Civil Protection Fundamental Law, to enhance the crisis management capability to build a safer city.

The discussion begins with the outline of the history of the Macanese bilingualism. The author then examines the crucial distinction between the language in the law and the law in the language. By analogy to European Community and other bilingual legal systems, this article identies the characteristic of Macanese mulitlingualism. This article concludes with suggestions about a new approach and the role of universities in resolving the matter. I. INTRODUCTION My experience as a comparatist in Macau reminds me of the “accommodation method” rooted in the Jesuit missionary activity, an activity aimed at diffusing Christianity all over the world and addressing complex religious and cultural challenges. Matteo Ricci used to adapt himself (“accomodare” 1 ) to the Chinese context, dressing as a Confucian monk, learning Chinese language and philosophy and overall finding similarities and harmonies in classical Chinese texts with Christian teachings.

    Overview of the Macao Special Administrative Region in 2017 as conducting weekly coordination meetings. In addition, under the Regulation of Organisational Structure of the IACM and the General Regulation of Public Areas, the IACM is responsible for monitoring progress with roadworks. However, regarding approval of construction period and calculation of exact number of construction days, the department had long been failing to exercise its control. The audit report also disclosed irregular situations with IACM, in which supervisory staff overstepped their superior’s authority to approve suspension of roadworks, resulting in IACM’s inability to better understand and solve all overdue cases. In order to maintain good communication with the audit industry and get to know the newest information related to auditing, in September, the Commissioner of Audit, Ho Veng On, attended as an observer the Fifth Conference of the Supreme Audit Institutions of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (OISC/CPLP) held in Funchal-Madeira, Portugal, and presented a paper entitled “The Role of Audit Institutions in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. In November, the Commissioner of Audit, Ho Veng On, led a delegation to attend the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Audit Conference 2017 organised by the Audit Office of Guangdong Province in Meizhou, and exchanged views on audit issues of mutual concern with the Director of the Audit Commission of Hong Kong and the Director General of the Audit Office of Guangdong Province. On 5 June 2017, the 2017 Audit Seminar for SAIs along the “Belt and Road Routes”, organised by the China National Audit Office (CNAO), commenced in Nanjing.
