  • Chinese President Xi Jinping will preside over a day of celebrations in Macau and inaugurate the city's new leader on Friday to mark 25 years since the former colony was returned to China.

The article from France 24 discusses the upcoming 25th anniversary of Macau's handover from Portuguese to Chinese rule, which will be marked by celebrations led by Chinese President Xi Jinping. The event highlights China's successful implementation of the "one country, two systems" policy in Macau, which has allowed the region to maintain a high degree of autonomy, including its own legal system and economic policies. Xi's visit underscores Beijing's commitment to this model, especially as it contrasts with the situation in Hong Kong, where tensions have arisen over similar autonomy issues. The celebrations are expected to showcase Macau's economic prosperity, particularly its booming casino industry, and its role as a model for peaceful reunification and economic development under Chinese sovereignty.
