Three things helping Macao go fast-forward

The Macao Special Administrative Region is in a fast-forward development mode thanks to the "one country, two systems" policy, a framework that allows the region to be part of the whole and, at the same time, to keep its differences and transform them into advantages.

Bearing in mind the main objective of the central government — to, by 2050, transform China into a great modern socialist country — this political formula has been supplemented with strategic long-term visions. And the rationale of it can be summarized as "One Center, One Platform and One Base". Here, one center stands for the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure; one platform for the China-Portuguese-speaking Countries Commercial and Trade Service Platform; and one base for exchange and cooperation with Chinese culture as its mainstream.

This foundation is associated with three key development drivers: Integration, diversification and a cooperation platform.
