Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng has travelled to Beijing and presented the work carried out by his administration this year to President Xi.
Macao government
The local government is keen to lure medical, tech and finance professionals to come and work in Macao as part of the territory’s economic diversification.
In spite of international criticism of Macao’s labour rights, a draft of the territory’s first trades union bill aims to keep worker organisations on a tight leash.
The new version of the law, passed by the legislature nearly two weeks ago, includes tougher penalties and broader categories of offence.
The long awaited agreement allows holders of Macao licences to drive in mainland China in what the government hopes will be a boon for business and personal travel.
Rules aim to bridge differences between Macao and mainland China and speed up development of Hengqin.
Chau and five other defendants also found liable in compensation claims filed against the group by Macao government and five gaming operators.
People no longer required to report state of health by generating a Macao Health Code; red and yellow code system comes to an end.
Around 38,000 civil servants in Macao must wear KN95 or higher-standard masks at all times during working hours; visitors to government premises urged to wear same types masks.
