    Chinese officials told Reuters they want to transform Macau into a financial and tourism hub "like Singapore" That is some next-level trolling of HK. It's also laugh-out-loud absurd as anyone who follows Macau knows. Beijing must really be getting worried.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-macau-politics-exclusive/exclusive-protest-free-macau-to-win-financial-policy-rewards-from-china-idUSKBN1YG0EJ …

        Logistically unless they decide to destroy all the casinos, Macau seems to be lacking the space to turn it into a financial and tourist hub. Are they going to build Disneyland Macau on top of a casino? 🤨

        Maybe through land reclamation? (On a completely unrelated note, I didn’t realize the literal meaning of “reclamation” in English until now🤔 but the sea was never ours)

        History tells us that #CCP is never a good developer. Otherwise Shanghai has already become their financial hub as they predicted years ago & now no need for such amazing plan for Macaohttps://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-markets-usa-survey/chinas-financial-hub-dream-for-shanghai-2020-still-distant-amcham-idUSKCN1RG07U …

        Transform a oriental Las Vegas into financial and tourism hub…… China has HONGKONG which is a excellent financial hub and was a not bad tourism spot. but beijing and HK govt rather destroy it, clash Hk's special advantages, it's all about China's ambition and arrogance

        What a joke If #HongKong can be replaced easily, why 🇨🇳#Totalitarianism does not handle #HongKongProtests as in #Xinjiang ?? But get in limbo about 🇭🇰 and make the unrest expand to #antichinazi across 🌏

        It’s not about “you want to” transform. It’s about whether “the world accept and recognise” your transform. They want to threat Hong Kong. But we all know, the difference between us and Macau is the law system. Common Law is always the reason why Hong Kong is the financial hub.pic.twitter.com/DmzQ5fIFA5

        They know it pretty well. That’s why they are destroying the legal system in HK and give Shanghai Shenzhen a “fair” competition.
