China's Xi swears in new Macau leader

The article from RFI discusses Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Macau to lead the celebrations for the 25th anniversary of Macau's handover from Portuguese to Chinese rule. This visit marks Xi's first trip to Macau since 2019 and underscores China's commitment to the "one country, two systems" framework, which allows Macau to retain its capitalist system and a high degree of autonomy. During his visit, Xi is expected to emphasize the importance of national security and the integration of Macau into China's broader national development plans. The celebrations also highlight the economic success of Macau, particularly its gaming industry, which has rebounded post-Covid, although there are concerns about economic diversification and political freedoms. The event is seen as an opportunity for Xi to reinforce Beijing's control and influence over the region while showcasing Macau's stability and prosperity under Chinese sovereignty.
