  • Culture and Sport
    CULTURE AND SPORT Culture and Sport Eastern and western cultures have co-existed in Macao for over 400 years. A wide variety of cultural traditions, languages, values, religious beliefs, and customs have all existed side by side and influenced one another. Out of this melting pot, a regional culture unique to Macao has gradually developed into its present richness. Macao’s culture is thus a diverse mixture, with traditional Chinese culture as its heart, and it has assimilated Western, particularly Portuguese, cultural influences in perfect harmony. Following its policy of promoting Chinese culture while preserving the unique pluralistic cultural heritage of Macao, the Government has hosted various cultural and artistic activities invited art troupes from mainland China and overseas, as well as Macao, to perform. These have created opportunities for audiences to learn more about the history, society, and culture of different regions, as well as enhancing cultural exchange and the quality of cultural life of Macao’s residents. Cultural Affairs Bureau The Cultural Affairs Bureau is a Government department that sets out the Government’s key objectives in cultural matters. The bureau is responsible for protecting cultural heritage, giving guidance on aesthetic appreciation, supporting community organisations, nurturing talent in arts and culture, developing local cultural industries, as well as organising cultural entertainment programmes, such as concerts, exhibitions, seminars, music classes, dance, drama courses, Macao International Parade, Macao International Music Festival, Macao Arts Festival, Macao City Fringe Festival, China Cultural Heritage Day, Macao Youth Music Competition and Macao Annual Visual Arts Exhibition. It also provides subsidies for different cultural and art programmes as well as scholarships to support the publication of research and advanced studies about arts.

The scheme aims to deepen the cultural exchanges between Macau and Portuguese-speaking countries, cultivate talents for the related fields, highlight Macau’s unique advantage as the bridge between China and Portuguese- speaking countries, and to better align Macau with the overall development plans of the nation. The “GEG Cultural & Academic Fund” debuted with the launch of a literary and cultural festival, the “‘Alphabets & Friends’ – Feet on Earth and Head in the Air”, which covered various cultural, arts and environmental protection activities that were delivered in the Portuguese language. The festival was successfully concluded earlier, and received strong support and feedback from the participants. The “GEG Cultural & Academic Fund” is anchored with 3 main public goals: to create, curate and promote the exchange, visibility and prestige of international artistic projects by Portuguese artists and cultural agents of the Portuguese-speaking countries; to deepen the relations between artists of the Portuguese-speaking countries and Macau and to bring together the creative and artistic experiences of these countries so as to create an impact on the digital applied arts, leisure activities and creative industries for its residents; and to promote Portuguese as a foreign Language in specialized professional areas such as law, business, health and medicine, journalism and public administration in Portuguese-speaking countries, while offering grant programs to young people in Macau who are specializing in technological and scientific areas in Portugal.

  • National Bibliographies: the Chinese Experience
    Date 2nd version : 04/07/2006 National Bibliographies: the Chinese Experience Ben Gu Director Acquisitions & Cataloging Department / Online Library Cataloging Center National Library of China Meeting: 109 Bibliography Simultaneous Interpretation: Yes WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 72ND IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 20-24 August 2006, Seoul, Korea http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla72/index.htm Abstract The printed version of the China National Bibliography was first published in 1987 and ceased to be published in 1994. It is replaced by the online services provided by the National Library of China. Because of the present situation of legal deposit policies in China, the national bibliography has narrow coverage. There is another kind of “national bibliography” with wider coverage, but not done by librarians. In China, there are also problems of different forms of name authorities and different MARC records. The National Library of China is considering a National Union Catalog to improve the national bibliographical services. 1 National Bibliographies: the Chinese Experience / by Ben Gu, National Library of China China National Bibliography: History China National Bibliography (中国 国家书目(1985)) was first published in 1987. It was compiled by the National Bibliography Compiling Committee under the National Library of China. It included 17,000 titles, covering all the monographs published in 1985, some monographs published in 1984 and some new and renamed periodicals. An index volume was also published at the same time1. The printed version of the China National Bibliography ceased to be published in 1994 because of the financial problem. Now, it is almost impossible to publish a printed version of China National Bibliography, because: 1.

  • Review of the Government's Work in the Macao Special Administrative
    (TRANSLATED VERSION) Review of the Government’s Work in the Macao Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China during the Fiscal Year 2019 During the past year, Macao was facing increased uncertainty due to internal and external circumstances. Despite the complex challenges and economic downturn, the Macao SAR continued upholding the principles of “One country, two systems”, “Macao people governing Macao” and a high degree of autonomy. We faced the challenges head on, and adhered to the overall approach of making progress while ensuring stability, to realise our policy goals of maintaining a stable employment situation and overall environment. We successfully completed the fifth Chief Executive election, and are striving to ensure smooth organisation and arrangements for the new-term Government. We believe that the Macao SAR will move forward towards a new era and new milestones with full confidence.

  • China (Includes Tibet, Hong Kong, and Macau) 2018 Human Rights Report
    CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2018 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is an authoritarian state in which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the paramount authority. CCP members hold almost all top government and security apparatus positions. Ultimate authority rests with the CCP Central Committee’s 25-member Political Bureau (Politburo) and its seven-member Standing Committee. Xi Jinping continued to hold the three most powerful positions as CCP general secretary, state president, and chairman of the Central Military Commission. Civilian authorities maintained control of security forces. During the year the government significantly intensified its campaign of mass detention of members of Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang). Authorities were reported to have arbitrarily detained 800,000 to possibly more than two million Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, and other Muslims in internment camps designed to erase religious and ethnic identities. Government officials claimed the camps were needed to combat terrorism, separatism, and extremism. International media, human rights organizations, and former detainees reported security officials in the camps abused, tortured, and killed some detainees. Human rights issues included arbitrary or unlawful killings by the government; forced disappearances by the government; torture by the government; arbitrary detention by the government; harsh and life-threatening prison and detention conditions; political prisoners;
