Chinese President Xi Jinping doubled down on the \"One Country, Two Systems\" framework this week, calling it a \"golden key\" for Macao’s future during the new SAR government’s inauguration. The move has sparked fresh momentum for international partnerships – and Portugal is ready to seize the opportunity.
🇵🇹 \"This policy creates stability,\" Portuguese Consul-General Alexandre Leitão told CGTN, highlighting Macao’s unique role as a bridge between China and Portuguese-speaking countries. \"We’re seeing real potential in green energy, tech innovation, and youth exchange programs.\"
With over 30% of Macao’s population speaking Portuguese, cultural ties remain a strong driver. Plans are underway for joint film festivals and heritage preservation projects – think pasteis de nata meets dim sum vibes. 🥮☕
For globetrotters, this could mean more direct flights from Lisbon and hybrid culinary experiences. Business buffs? Watch for new cross-border fintech initiatives in the Greater Bay Area. 💼🌐
