The Government of the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People’s Republic of China expresses its strong opposition to the content relating to Macao contained in a report lately issued by the Congressional-Executive Commission on China of the United States of America.

The 2018 annual report contains groundless and baseless claims, and made inappropriate comments about Macao’s internal affairs.

Macao’s internal affairs are a domestic matter for China: foreign countries have no right to interfere in China’s domestic affairs.

Since the return to the motherland, the Macao SAR has been strictly implementing the principle of “One country, two systems” and the Basic Law, making significant achievements in various fields, that have been widely recognised by the international community.
