  • Militar Portuguesa Durante a ‘Revolução Cultural’ Chinesa Em Macau, Em Junho De 1967
    A PROSTRAÇÃO DA GUARNIÇÃO MILITAR PORTUGUESA DURANTE A ‘REVOLUÇÃO CULTURAL’ CHINESA EM MACAU, EM JUNHO DE 1967 Mestre Moisés Silva Fernandes ESTUDOS SOBRE A CHINA VII • Moisés Silva Fernandes é investigador associado do Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa. Os seus interesses abrangem Macau nas relações luso-chinesas, Timor nas relações luso-australo-indonésias e a política externa portuguesa contemporânea. As suas mais recentes publicações incluem o livro Sinopse de Macau nas relações luso-chinesas, 1945-1995, Lisboa, Fundação Oriente, 2000, e vários trabalhos editados em revistas e actas académicas. 2 ESTUDOS SOBRE A CHINA VII Resumo A ocorrência da “revolução cultural” chinesa em Macau, entre Novembro de 1966 e Agosto de 1968, demonstrou plenamente que a China Continental não pretendia alterar o status quo do território. Apesar de Mao Zedong e o seu séquito terem instigado o derrube violento das estruturas do partido e do Estado e de proeminentes dirigentes chineses, como Liu Shaoqi, Deng Xiaoping e Tao Zhu, a nível interno, e de terem fomentado a revolução mundial, a nível externo, evitaram, porém, que os Guardas Vermelhos rebeldes invadissem o território. Esta atitude por parte do regime maoísta legitimou simultaneamente a administração portuguesa e a elite comercial chinesa de Macau. Neste trabalho pretendemos analisar os incidentes do dia 16 de Junho de 1967, o envolvimento do major Abrantes e a intervenção da China no sentido de minimizar o incidente. Palavras-chave Relações luso-chinesas; “revolução cultural” chinesa em Macau; administração portuguesa de Macau; elite comercial chinesa de Macau; guarnição militar portuguesa; interesses; confl uência de interesses; pragmatismo; interdependência; manutenção do status quo.

Spooner Macau University of Science & Technology Abstract Macau has boomed over the last decade as its gaming industry has provided the massive Chinese economy with the only legal casino gambling services in the nation. But, recent Chinese political changes have resulted in a sharp downturn in Macau’s gambling revenues despite a major expansion of its gaming facilities. This may negatively impact efforts to promote a relationship between Macau and the Portuguese Speaking World.

  • Impacts of Public Support and Voices Pluralism in Macao Newspapers
    Journalism and Mass Communication, April 2017, Vol. 7, No. 4, 187-205 D doi: 10.17265/2160-6579/2017.04.002 DAVID PUBLISHING Impacts of Public Support and Voices Pluralism in Macao Newspapers José Manuel Simões Saint Joseph University, Macao, China Paulo Faustino Porto University, Porto, Portugal The economic and financial sustainability of regional press companies is extremely relevant for the dynamism of this important sector in promoting pluralism of ideas and decentralization of information. In this context, the work presented here intends, on one hand, to analyze the importance of the press support system in Macao for its economic and financial sustainability and, on the other hand, to try to understand how they contribute to promoting information pluralism with Portuguese speaking community in a Chinese territory—with special regime. With this purpose, three methodologies were implemented, namely: (1) review of literature and documentary research—reports, articles in the press, scientific articles and academic books related to the topic; (2) analysis of contents of interviews of privileged informants-directors and editors of newspapers addressed to the Portuguese community in the Macao region; and (3) analysis of the impact of support from the Macao Regional Government based on the principles of the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) model. Keywords: pluralism, voices, sustainability, subsidies, market and newspapers Context, Methodology and Objectives of the Research Theme Context In Macao, as it happens in Portugal, the regional press market segment is mainly made up of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. Its target market is mainly limited to the geographic area (locality, parish, county) of each company—which ends up conditioning its expansion vectors.

  • 42 Wade–Giles Romanization System
    42 Wade–Giles ROMANIZATION SYSTEM Karen Steffen Chung N ATIONAL TAIWAN UNIVERSITY The Wade–Giles Romanization system for standard Mandarin Chinese held a distinguished place of honor in Sinology and popular usage from the late nineteenth century until the 1970s, when it began losing ground to Hanyu Pinyin. But that is not to say that the Wade– Giles system was not, and is not still, without its problems, and consequently, its sometimes highly vocal detractors. Historical absence of a phonetic alphabet, fanqie and tone marking It is surprising that the Chinese did not develop their own phonetic alphabet before the arrival of Western missionaries in China starting in the sixteenth century. The closest they came was the use of the fǎnqiè system, under which two relatively well-known characters, plus the word fǎn 反 or later mostly qiè 切, were given after a lexical item. The reader needed to take the initial of the first and splice it onto the final rhyme and tone of the second, to derive the pronunciation of the item being looked up. A typical entry is dōng déhóng qiè 東 德紅切, i.e. dé plus hóng in the qiè 切 system make dōng. (The second tone had not yet separated from the first at this time, thus the difference in tones.) One big advantage of the system is that the fǎnqiè characters were already familiar to any literate Chinese, so there was no need to learn a new set of symbols. The disadvantage is that there is no way to know with certainty the actual phonetic realizations of the syllables at the time .

However, this bleak scenario did not materialise. The aim of this paper is to analyse the reasons behind this longevity – mainly, during the first decade-and-a-half of Mao Zedong’s regime, when the leadership of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) held officially to a rather strong revolutionary, anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist posture. Resumo Aquando da iminente tomada de poder pelo Partido Comunista Chinês (PCC) na China Continental em 1949, os decisores portugueses em Macau e em Portugal temeram pelo colapso do exíguo enclave e a precipitação do princípio do fim do império portu- guês.
