In a recent interview with China Media Group, Portuguese scholar Carmen Amado Mendes highlighted the remarkable success of Macao’s implementation of the “one country, two systems” principle. Mendes, president of the Macao Scientific and Culture Center, emphasized the visible creativity and achievements that have marked Macao’s development under this framework.
“The practice of ‘one country, two systems’ in Macao is undoubtedly a huge success,” Mendes stated. “This unique approach has allowed Macao to flourish while preserving its distinct cultural heritage.”
She pointed out that Macao’s progress is evident in various fields, including education, culture, and the economy. The scholar believes that the region serves as a shining example of how diverse systems can coexist and thrive under a unified nation.
Mendes’s insights shed light on the positive impacts of the policy, which has been pivotal since Macao’s return to China in 1999. Her perspective offers valuable understanding for young audiences worldwide about the potential of collaborative governance models.
