In front of the memorial archway of Macao's famous Sanpak, visitors come and go like a weaver, and the beautiful travel memory is fixed under the camera; Various exhibitions and performances take turns appearing at the Jinguang Convention and Exhibition Center and Variety Hall, attracting a lot of popularity; In the Youth Entrepreneurship Incubation Center, young entrepreneurs sit together and never stop chasing their dreams... In winter, this ancient city on the South China Sea is full of vitality. Over the past 25 years since its return to the motherland, guided by the "One Country, Two Systems" policy and with strong support from the central government and the mainland, Macau has achieved a magnificent transformation towards a modern international city. The government of the Macao Special Administrative Region has worked hand in hand with various sectors of society to actively explore development paths that are suitable for itself, and has achieved significant achievements in areas such as economy and people's livelihood. At the same time, Macao has constantly deepened exchanges and cooperation with the mainland, deeply integrated into the overall national development situation, and in the great cause of the times of comprehensively promoting the construction of a powerful country and national rejuvenation with Chinese path to modernization, it has made progress and shared prosperity with the motherland, showing unprecedented heroic feelings. Backed by the motherland, the economy has achieved leapfrog development. Standing in the A district of Macau New City, adjacent to the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge, a brand new bridge - the Macau Bridge - has risen from the sea in Macau. More than two months ago, the first two-way eight lane cross sea bridge in Macau was completed and opened to traffic, becoming the fourth cross sea bridge connecting the Macau Peninsula and Taipa. It not only facilitates people's travel, but also unblocks Macau's economic vitality. Before the return, the infrastructure construction in Macau lagged behind. Nowadays, light rail shuttles between urban areas, high-grade highways extend in all directions, cross sea bridges are magnificent, and landmark buildings such as tourist towers and Sino Portuguese complexes are lined up. They not only constitute the new landscape of Macau, but also witness the development and prosperity of this city. At the beginning of its return, Macau's gross domestic product was 51.9 billion Macau Patacas (1 Macau Patacas is equivalent to 0.12 US dollars), which has grown to nearly 379.5 billion Macau Patacas by 2023. By the end of 2023, the total deposit amount of Macau residents will exceed MOP 700 billion, an increase of more than 8 times compared to 1999. Over the past 25 years, Macau has risen from a quiet and desolate seaside town to one of the wealthiest cities in Asia. While the economy is steadily growing, Macau is gradually breaking away from the dominance of the gambling industry, and its industrial structure is moving towards diversification, coordination, and sustainability, with a more solid and powerful development pace. Over the past 25 years, Macau has achieved significant development under the principle of 'one country, two systems' The Chief Executive of the Macao Special Administrative Region, He Yicheng, said that the proportion of key industries with moderate economic diversification in the overall economy is gradually increasing, and the economic structure is becoming increasingly diversified and stable. In the field of characteristic finance, Macau continues to make efforts, deepening its connectivity with the financial markets of Hengqin and other cities in the Greater Bay Area, optimizing cross-border financial services, and making cross-border capital flow channels more smooth. With its unique advantages, Macao actively plays the role of "precise contact" in China's foreign cooperation and plays an indispensable role as a node in the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road". The unique tourism industry, featuring a blend of Chinese and Western cultures, a dazzling array of cuisine, and distinctive architecture, is an important aspect of the moderately diversified development of Macau's economy. The SAR government is committed to showcasing Macau's charm to the world and attracting tourists from home and abroad to experience the city's profound heritage. In 1999, only 7 million tourists visited Australia, but as of December 7th this year, this number has reached 32.545 million. Nowadays, Macau is one of the cities with the highest concentration of world cultural heritage sites, and is striving to build a world tourism and leisure center. In the first quarter survey of 2024 by the China Tourism Research Institute, Macau was rated as the most satisfactory destination for mainland outbound tourists. At the beginning of this month, the "Macau Outdoor Performance Area" with an area of 94000 square meters was put into trial operation in Taipa. This will serve as a venue for large-scale performing arts events, with a stage span of up to 100 meters and a capacity of over 50000 spectators. This is the latest initiative of Macau to build a 'City of Performing Arts'. In recent years, there have been a lot of performance events in Macau, and many large-scale concerts have been held in Macau. Both software and hardware are very suitable for hosting performances in Macau Macau singer Liu Naiqi said excitedly. He was fortunate enough to participate in large-scale performances such as "Bay Area Rising Moon" and "TimeMusic Concert" held in Macau this year. Nowadays, many mainland and overseas tourists come to Macau specifically to watch concerts. Activities such as the Macau International Colorful Parade, Macau Arts Festival, and Sino Portuguese Cultural and Art Festival attract tourists from all over the world. The Grand Prix of Macau, Macau International Marathon, Macau International Table Tennis Federation World Cup, and other exciting events are also held in Macau. By hosting cultural and artistic festivals, exhibitions, sports events, and other activities, Macau shines the "golden business card" of an international metropolis, promoting cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries while also boosting popularity and consumption. According to data from the Macau SAR government, in 2023, nearly 20 million people participated in various cultural and artistic activities organized by the government and the public. The audience for large-scale concerts and other events organized by comprehensive vacation and leisure enterprises reached 1 million, generating approximately 1.1 billion Macau dollars in box office revenue. In the past few years, despite the impact of the epidemic, the Macao SAR government has timely introduced a series of measures to promote economic recovery and improvement. In the first three quarters of this year, Macau's gross domestic product reached MOP 301 billion, with a year-on-year real growth rate of 11.5%. In November 2023, the Macao SAR government announced the "Macao Special Administrative Region Economic Moderate Diversified Development Plan (2024-2028)", which focuses on the construction goal of "one center, one platform, and one base", proposes the "1+4" economic moderate diversified development strategy, and takes multiple measures from policy, human resources, and financial resources to promote the rapid development of key industrial sectors. This is the first comprehensive and systematic industrial development plan in Macau's history. The numbers are the most powerful proof: the proportion of non gambling industries in Macau's gross domestic product is gradually increasing and will exceed 60% by 2023. As an outward oriented micro economy with a high degree of openness, Macau lacks resource endowments. However, in the 25 years since its return to the motherland, major economic indicators have made significant strides towards the forefront of the world, and people's livelihoods have greatly improved, creating the "Macau Miracle". Accelerating moderate and diversified economic development in Macau not only enhances its own economic strength and competitiveness, but also plays a greater role in serving the national strategy and high-level opening-up of the country Vice President of the City University of Macau, Yip Kwai ping, said. As we approach the end of the year, Rong Yongen, the President of the Macau Accounting Professional Federation, is planning how to carry out work in Hengqin in 2025 to better integrate into the overall national situation and share the opportunities of the times. Starting from November 1st this year, the policy regarding tax professionals from Hong Kong and Macao practicing in the Hengqin Guangdong Macao Deep Cooperation Zone has been officially implemented, and Rong Yongen is one of the first batch of individuals to obtain a professional qualification certificate. I am very honored and will strive to promote deeper participation of the Macau accounting industry in the construction of the Shenzhen Cooperation Zone, "said Rong Yongen. In the 25 years since its return to the motherland, Macao has created a miracle of development, which cannot be separated from the strong support of the central government and the mainland of China. At the same time, Macao actively participates in the construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area and actively integrates into the overall development of the country. 15 years ago, Hengqin Development was born in Macau and took on the mission of promoting moderate and diversified economic development in Macau. The overall plan for the construction of the Hengqin Guangdong Macao Deep Cooperation Zone was released in 2021, accelerating the integration of the two regions. As of September 2024, the number of Macau residents living and residing in Hengqin reached 16539, a year-on-year increase of 19.1%; The total number of Australian enterprises reached 6461, an increase of 39.3% compared to the establishment of the Shenzhen Cooperation Zone. Li Weinong, Secretary for Economy and Finance of the Macao SAR Government, said, "Hengqin will be an important driving force for Macao's development in the future." The construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area and the high-quality joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" have brought new development opportunities to Macao. To this end, Macau has established a National Development Work Committee to promote deep cooperation with the mainland in various aspects such as economy, culture, and society. Macao and Guangdong and Hong Kong have jointly developed "one journey and many stops" boutique tourist routes, promoted trade cooperation between the Greater Bay Area and Portuguese speaking countries, and promoted cultural exchanges between the Greater Bay Area and countries around the world... In the past five years, Macao has focused on the positioning of "one center, one platform, and one base", actively participated in the construction of the Greater Bay Area and the high-quality joint construction of the "the Belt and Road", giving play to the important node function of the Maritime Silk Road. Realizing personal development in the process of integrating Macau into the overall national development is a common choice for many Macanese. In the Macau Youth Entrepreneurship Incubation Center, young entrepreneurs gather together to discuss business and are very busy. The display cabinets next to them are filled with various innovative products. The accelerator area, roadshow area, conference room... The rich and orderly spatial setting in the center provides a stage for makers to achieve their dreams. To align with the policy objectives of the Macau SAR government, the Economic and Technological Development Bureau has established a Youth Entrepreneurship Incubation Center, which has incubated over 500 projects and served more than 2600 young entrepreneurs in Macau. Wu Hongqi is the executive director of Macau Bowei Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. He is currently working with his team to overcome a technical challenge. After graduating from the Computer Science program at the University of Macau, he resolutely gave up the high salary attraction of the gambling industry and chose to start his own business, determined to delve deeper into the field of technology. Bowei Technology has provided network infrastructure and information security services to the Macau SAR government, numerous enterprises, and universities, and successfully established Macau's first 24-hour uninterrupted localized network security operation center. Wu Hongqi and his colleagues have proven through practical actions that Macanese people can fully contribute to the development and progress of Macau and even the country through their own efforts. While achieving their own development, Macao compatriots have always been concerned about their motherland, committed to participating in national construction with the "strength of Macao", and contributing to social progress. Congjiang County, located in southwestern China's Guizhou Province, was once a key county for national poverty alleviation and development work, and weak educational infrastructure was an important factor restricting local development. In 2018, the Macau SAR government, the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government of Macau, and Guizhou Province signed an agreement to initiate the process of Macau's targeted assistance to Congjiang. Since the implementation of targeted assistance, Macao has gathered multiple forces and raised tens of millions of funds to invest in education, healthcare and other livelihood areas in Congjiang County, benefiting the local people. Macao residents have a clear understanding that the development of Macao cannot be separated from national support. Young people share the opportunities of reform and opening up in the new era, and have enhanced their sense of belonging to the country and participation in the construction of a strong country in their growth. Ye Guiping clearly felt this social atmosphere. During the teaching process, he found that more and more Macau students showed a strong interest in the construction and development of Hengqin, the Greater Bay Area, and other regions in mainland China. They actively pay attention to the policy dynamics and industrial development of the Shenzhen Cooperation Zone, and proactively learn about relevant internship, employment, and entrepreneurship information, "said Ye Guiping. Huang Yin, the founder of Chinese path to modernization Macao Chuangyi Health Technology, who contributed to the director of Macao and helped Macao Chuangyi Health Technology, recalled her choice in the early days of entrepreneurship, and said that she would combine the overall national development situation with personal entrepreneurial goals, so that she finally decided to plant seeds and take root in Hengqin. We have built a bridge for the exchange of excellent medical resources between Macau and mainland China, leveraging the advantages of Macau's Sino Portuguese business platform to promote traditional Chinese medicine products and culture to Portuguese speaking countries Huang Yin led the enterprise to seize opportunities and take off quickly. Macau, an international city with an open business environment, has become an ideal destination for many entrepreneurs. The full support of the central government, especially the establishment of the Hengqin Guangdong Macao Deep Cooperation Zone, has provided unprecedented broad space for the development of Macau. After 25 years of returning to the motherland, the Macao Special Administrative Region has achieved remarkable success. Faced with unprecedented changes in the world, Macau still faces many challenges and heavy development tasks. Seize the opportunity of further comprehensive deepening of reforms in the country and leverage the synergy of industries in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area
