  • MACAU's BRIDGING Role BETWEEN CHINA and LATIN
    Sonia Chan Prado*1 UDC 327(510:8) 327(512.318:8) doi:10.5937/MegRev1901193C Expert article Received 9.4.2018. Approved 21.9.2018. Macau’S Bridging ROle between China and Latin America Since the beginning of the 21st century, sustained and rapid growth in relations between China and the Latin American and Caribbean countries has been witnessed. It is widely believed that a stronger tie with a promising future can be envisaged. Historically, Macau has been a Portuguese trading post in the Far East for over 442 years. After the Handover in 1999, Macau was officially returned to China as a Special Administrative Region. At present, Macau is the “world’s top gaming capital” and a part of the Greater Bay Area of national strategic importance in southern China. By capitalizing on her core strengths and special privileges, Macau can go much further, not only as a gaming and tourism city but also an effective and efficient platform between China and Latin America. Furthermore, with the new mega structure, the vast logistic network and the endorsed Greater Bay Area initiative, Macau can serve as an effective soft-power hub of the nation for helping build an extension of the “Belt and Road” to Latin America in the Pacific Rim. Keywords: Macau, Special Administrative Region of China, Greater Bay Area, Belt and Road, China-Latin America Relations 1. Introduction From the historical point of view, we can presume that contacts between Latin America and Asia have always existed, although mostly commercial ones, having in mind that Spanish and Portuguese empires kept expanding their colonial power and administration in the Philippines and the Pacific Rim.

    HIGH REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNION FOR EUROPEAN FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND COMMISSION SECURITY POLICY Brussels, 26.4.2017 JOIN(2017) 15 final JOINT REPORT TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL Macao Special Administrative Region: Annual Report 2016 EN EN JOINT REPORT TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL Macao Special Administrative Region: Annual Report 2016 Summary Since the handover of Macao to the People’s Republic of China in 1999, the European Union (EU) and its Member States have closely followed political and economic developments in the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) under the ‘one country, two systems’ principle. The EU adheres to its ‘One China’ policy and supports the ‘one country, two systems’ principle and its implementation. This annual report on developments in Macao is issued in line with the commitment given to the European Parliament. In 2016, the ‘one country, two systems’ principle continued to work well, to the benefit of the Macao SAR, China as a whole, and the international community. The Chief Executive was elected, unopposed, in 2014. This was the third time in a row that only one candidate stood for election as Chief Executive. Macao’s Basic Law and other legislative acts do not provide for the possibility of universal suffrage. However, the EU encourages the Macao authorities to consider ways to promote greater public involvement in the election of the Chief Executive, thereby enhancing the legitimacy of the position and contributing to good governance. The fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens continued to be respected. Macao’s media continued to express a broad range of views despite some concerns about increasing self- censorship.
