Xia Baolong
The CPPCC vice chairman, who is the central government’s top official on Macao affairs, winds up his four-day fact-finding tour of Macao today.
Xia Baolong is on a four-day fact-finding visit to Macao, following a similar visit made last month to Hong Kong.
Macao’s Chief Executive, Ho Iat Seng, has extended a welcome but the government has not given any details about Xia Baolong’s itinerary.
China has appointed Xia Baolong, the vice-chairman of its top political advisory body, as director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of the State Council.
