In reality this demanded a cautious and skillful use of hedging. Juggling the interests of the several actors was complex and sometimes out of the control of Portuguese authorities. Portuguese and Japanese interests collide in the Asia theater in Macau and East Timor. Both territories of strategic importance to Japan: the former as a espionage center and the latter as a stepping stone to Australia. In 1940, having Macau surrounded, Japan clearly states its intention to pressure Macau to obtain oil concessions in Timor. In turn, this precipitated a policy of appeasement on two fronts: in Macau, Portugal must cede part of its sovereignty in Macau, allowing Japanese a broad spectrum of freedoms; and in Timor, a technical agreement establishing an air service between Palao and Dilli is signed.

  • Evolution of Macau's Economy and Its Export-Oriented Industries
    Evolution of Macau's Economy and Its Export-Oriented Industries VICTOR F.S. SIT Export-oriented industrialization has been regarded by many economists as an efficient way to attain economic growth for developing countries. The Newly Industrialized Countries (MCs) of Asia, i.e. South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, have often been quoted as such successful cases. Detailed investigations by some economists have revealed, however, different geo-political and historical factors behind each of them and cautioned against possible pitfalls of over-generalization that aims to propagate export-oriented industrialization as a panacea for lack of growth in the developing economies. James Petras has found that export- oriented industrialization generally leads to overconcentration of light manufacturing.' Of 48 countries analysed, he found only seven that derived 30% or more of their manufacture value-added from industrial branches other than light industries. All seven, except India, are countries of 'middle income', suggesting that the deepening of industrialization is at least in part a product of the growing internal market. These countries are India, Kenya, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, South Korea, and Singapore. The last country, Singapore, achieved such a rank mainly due to its refineries, ship- building and processing for tin and rubber which was a conse- quence of its location in Southeast Asia. The small internal market of countries such as Macau and Hong Kong has precluded them from the development of heavy industries. Macau is one of those developing countries which have registered a rapid pace of economic development through export-oriented industrialization in the last two decades. However, Macau is little known, except for its world-class casinos, because of the small size of its economy and the general lack of published materials about it.
