Description of Lecture

China will take Macao back from Portugal on December 20, 1999, following its recovery of Hong Kong on July 1, 1997. Only forty miles from Hong Kong, the much-smaller Macao shares some similarities with its more famous neighbor yet differs from it historically, politically, and economically. Benefits to China will be mainly symbolic; recovering another relic of European imperialism, re-validating the principle of “one country, two systems, “moving closer to reuniting Taiwan with the mainland, and signaling its status as a major world power.
