This area is on the west side of Macau. The hotel Sofitel Ponte 16 gave me a very nice room with this panoramic view to the harbour. We can see the blooming Macau and the neighbouring Zhu Hai area. The Macau/Zhu Hai/Hong Kong bridge also signifies another page of the Greater Bay economic zone. If we can map up the recent HK prolonged unrest, in coincidence, that took place right after the bridge was opened. So when the American Chamber HK's leader got denied to attend a conference in Macau 2 days ago, we knew there were something very political around this region. It's just the beginning... After all, I feel that Macau Gov't has done a right thing.
At my industry gala dinner, I was thrilled to see how supportive of the various Gov't departments have been supporting the local cultural development. I was delighted to enjoy some very professional live performance of local Portugueses and Chineses. There should always be some local cultural developments instead of going too globally. Globalization also means "colonization" by certain leading power.
I also met some old colleagues that I have once worked to help set up the copyright system in Macau. It's really not easy to talk about copyright in Macau when it's dominated by the casino business. This is something I am thankful that I learned from all those difficult times. Old speaking - no pain no gain.
