This is one of the three agencies of the State Council of the People's Republic of China in the Macau Special Administrative Region.

history

The liaison office was established on January 18, 2000. This replaced the former branch of the Xinhua news agency . The office is located in the Xinhua Building, which is in the southern foothills of Guia Hill. The new building opened on January 16, 2010 in the municipality of Freguesia da Sé.

When Macau was under Portuguese administration, the People's Republic of China was unofficially represented by the trading company Nanguang. This later became known as the China Central Enterprise Nam Kwong (Group) . Founded in 1949, officially to promote trade relations between Macau and mainland China, it acted as the unofficial representative and "shadow government" of the People's Republic of China in relation to the Portuguese administration.

The group served to challenge the rival Taiwanese "Special Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China" of the Kuomintang government. The commissariat was closed after the 1-2-3 procommunist incident of December 3, 1966, known in Portugal as the 1-2-3 riot, after which the Portuguese authorities agreed to ban all Kuomintang activity in Macau. After the Carnation Revolution , Portugal redefined Macau in 1976 as "Chinese territory under Portuguese administration". Lisbon did not establish diplomatic relations with Beijing until 1979 .

In 1984 the Nam Kwong group was divided into politics and trade arms. On September 21, 1987, a Macau branch of the Xinhua News Agency was founded, which, like in Hong Kong , was Beijing's unofficial representative and replaced Nam Kwong. On January 18, 2000, one month after the transfer of sovereignty over Macau, the Macau Branch became the Liaison Office of the People's Central Government in the Macau Special Administrative Region.

In 2010, the central government appointed two new vice directors for the Macau Central People's Government Liaison Office, appointed by the State Council in Beijing, while their predecessors were recalled to Beijing. The new vice directors were Chen Sixi and Qui Hong.

In 2013, China appointed a new executive, Li Gang, to take over China's Macau Liaison Office to build stronger business relationships. Li is a member of the Chinese Communist Party's Central Disciplinary Inspection Commission and was charged with dealing with bribery and illegal outflows in Macau, and fighting corruption among the country's own officials.

Threat to heritage

The view of the Guia Fortress is obstructed by the headquarters.

In 2015, the divided pro-democracy party Associação Novo Macau of UNESCO with in a report that the Macao SAR Government had failed to protect the cultural heritage of Macau against threats posed by urban development projects. As an example, it was mentioned that the headquarters of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government, located on the Guia foothills, obstructs the view of the fortress of Guia (one of the world heritage symbols of Macau ). A year later, Roni Amelan, a spokesman for UNESCO's press service, said UNESCO had asked China for comments and was still waiting for a response.
