Government responds to U.S. human rights report on Macao


The Government of the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People’s Republic of China expresses strong opposition to the content relating to Macao carried in the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2016, lately issued by the Department of State of the United States of America.

Since its establishment, the Macao SAR has been strictly adhered to the principle “One country, two systems”, “Macao people governing Macao”, and a high degree of autonomy. The successful implementation of the principles effectively protects the rights and freedoms of Macao residents as stipulated in the Basic Law of Macao. These achievements have been widely recognised by international communities and agencies.

Foreign countries have no right to interfere in China’s domestic affairs and should not interfere in any form in the internal affairs of Macao. The content in the report relating to Macao is groundless and baseless.
