Macao, the glittering pearl of the ‘one country, two systems’ policy, is gearing up for its next chapter with strong backing from China’s central authorities. President Xi Jinping’s recent meeting with incoming Macao SAR Chief Executive Sam Hou Fai has spotlighted Beijing’s commitment to the region’s prosperity and stability.
A Partnership for Progress
During Friday’s high-profile discussion, Xi underscored the central government’s full support for Macao’s ‘high degree of autonomy’ under the one-country-two-systems framework. The spokesperson for China’s Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office called the meeting a ‘vivid testament’ to the policy’s success, noting that Macao’s thriving environment reflects its ‘great vitality and strength’.
What’s Next for Macao?
The central authorities have high hopes for the SAR’s new leadership to unite residents and innovate ‘Macao-style’ governance. With Xi’s reassurance that Beijing will ‘fully and faithfully’ uphold the region’s autonomy, the stage is set for Macao to keep blending its unique cultural flair with national development goals.
As the city marks over two decades since its return to China, this meeting signals a fresh era of collaboration—and a reminder that #TeamChina is all in for Macao’s success.
