The Role and Prospects of Macao in Cooperation Between China and Portuguese-Speaking Countries
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Macao, situated as a significant node along the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, possesses a distinct advantage in serving as a platform for facilitating connections between China and Portuguese-speaking countries. Furthermore, it holds a crucial position as an intersection for promoting both domestic and international economic circulation. The tourism and casino sectors in Macao, which serve as its economic pillars, have seen significant disruptions as a result of the epidemic and other global circumstances, in light of the emerging era and associated issues. Macao can effectively leverage the “Belt and Road” initiative, capitalizing on its favorable policies, strategic geographical location, and robust trade exchanges. By doing so, Macao has the potential to inject renewed vigor and vitality into its developmental endeavors. Simultaneously, it can foster collaboration and interactions between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, while also making valuable contributions to the progress of the “Belt and Road” initiative.
