Hintergrund-Info: A Chinese port occupied by Portugal since 1557. In 1849, Portugal assumed full sovereignty over the territory, which includes two small, adjacent islands. In 1976 Macau was given considerable autonomy. In 1987, Portugal agreed to return the
territory to China in 1999, under conditions similar to those
accompanying Hong Kong's 1997 return to China by the United Kingdom. |
