The Macau Special Administrative Region is located in eastern Asia bordering China and the South China Sea. Macau’s population is about 550,000 people.
Macau (also Macao) is considered a limited democracy and is one of two Special Administrative Regions (SAR) of the People’s Republic of China with its own charter (the Basic Law). Hong Kong is the other SAR. The head of government is the Chief Executive who is appointed by Beijing after election by an Election Committee of 300 who represent Macau’s interests. The chief of state is the president of China.
Macau became a Portuguese colony in the 16th century. Portugal administered the region until the handover to China on December 20, 1999. China agreed that for the next 50 years, Macau would operate with a high degree of autonomy. Under the policy of “one country, two systems,” Macau will not operate under China’s socialist economic system. China is responsible for the region’s foreign affairs and defence, while Macau maintains its own legal system, police force, monetary system, customs policy, immigration policy, and delegates to international organizations and events. The economy of Macau depends largely on tourism, gambling, and textile and garment manufacturing.
Visitors will enjoy the Portuguese influence in the parks and gardens, architecture, streets, and also the cuisine, along with the Las Vegas style hotels and casinos. Macau is the largest gambling destination in Asia.
