The recent opening of the 55-kilometer bridge connecting it to Hong Kong and the mainland has helped grow Macau’s vibrant dining culture even further with MACAU the city’s being better connected.

  • Casino Capitalism in the Era of COVID-19: Examining Macau's
    Casino capitalism in the era of COVID-19: Examining Macau’s pandemic response Loretta Lou University of Macau [email protected] The published version of the paper can be found here. Citation: Lou, L. (2021), "Casino capitalism in the era of COVID-19: examining Macau’s pandemic response", Social Transformations in Chinese Societies, Vol. ahead-of-print No. ahead-of- print. Abstract Purpose This purpose of this paper is to explain Macau’s successful pandemic response through an analysis of its social, political, and economic landscapes. In particular, it focuses on the economic relief brought by casino capitalism in this era of COVID-19. Design/methodology/approach As mobility is highly restricted during the coronavirus pandemic, digital technologies have become central to ongoing social science research. Thanks to videoconferencing programmes such as Zoom, Facetime, and WhatsApp, I was able to carry out virtual interviews with thirteen local people from different sectors of Macau in July 2020. In addition to in-depth interviews, I also undertook an extensive review of the Macau government’s pandemic policies. Findings This paper argues that the Macau government’s swift and effective coronavirus policies are deeply intertwined with the urban fabric and political economy of the city’s casino capitalism, which endowed the government with surplus funds and an infrastructure that enabled the implementation of an array of strict measures that few other countries could afford to subsidize. Among the factors that have led to Macau’s extraordinarily low rates of COVID-19 infections and deaths are not only competent leadership but also the public’s high compliance with mandatory health measures, the generous benefits and financial support for citizens and businesses, and the compulsory quarantine required of all incoming travellers, who are lodged in hotel rooms left empty when casino tourists stopped coming.
