98. CNN - Hong Kong: Future The narrow waterway which separates the Portuguese colony of macau from China colonial histories and the geography the much smaller macau is located http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9706/hk97/future/macau/

The next handover: Waiting for China... worry-free The narrow waterway which separates the Portuguese colony of Macau from China was once an important crossing point for those seeking economic or political refuge from the mainland. Now, thousands of Chinese workers commute to Macau each day, while shoppers from Macau cross the border into Zhuhai, one of China's bustling special economic zones, to bargain-hunt in department stores. It is one of the busiest intersections between China and the outside world. Thus, while fear and uncertainty grip Hong Kong as it reverts back to China, Macau established in the mid-1500s as one of East Asia's first European colonies has been calmly preparing for its change of sovereignty in 1999. It is a startling contrast given their shared colonial histories and the geography: the much smaller Macau is located just across the mouth of the Pearl River from Hong Kong, less than 40 miles (64 km) away. But Macau is a world away from Hong Kong in most other respects. While Hong Kong's British rulers have repeatedly clashed with Beijing, there is little historical animosity between Portugal and China. In fact, Portugal offered to cede control of Macau as far back as 1974.

Macau Economy Macau History Chinese records of Macau date back to the establishment in 1152 of Xiangshan County under which Macau was administered, though it remained unpopulated through most of the next century. Members of the South Sung (Song) Dynasty and some 50,000 followers were the first recorded inhabitants of the area, seeking refuge in Macau from invading Mongols in 1277. They were able to defend their settlements and establish themselves there. The Hoklo Boat people were the first to show commercial interest in Macau as a trading center for the southern provinces. Macau did not develop as a major settlement until the Portuguese arrived in the 16th century. Portuguese traders used Macau as a staging port as early as 1516, making it the oldest European settlement in the Far East. In 1557, the Chinese agreed to a Portuguese settlement in Macau but did not recognize Portuguese sovereignty. Although a Portuguese municipal government was established, the sovereignty question remained unresolved. Initially, the Portuguese developed Macau's port as a trading post for China-Japan trade and as a staging port on the long voyage from Lisbon to Nagasaki. When Chinese officials banned direct trade with Japan in 1547, Macau's Portuguese traders carried goods between the two countries. The first Portuguese governor was appointed to Macau in 1680, but the Chinese continued to assert their authority, collecting land and customs taxes. Portugal continued to pay rent to China until 1849, when the Portuguese abolished the Chinese customs house and declared Macau's "independence," a year which also saw Chinese retaliation and finally the assassination of Gov. Ferreira do Amaral.
