Hey there! Have you heard the news? President Xi Jinping of China just arrived in Macao to celebrate a very special occasion! 🎈
Macao’s Big Day
It’s been 25 years since Macao returned to China, and a lot has changed since then. Macao, once a quiet place, has become one of Asia’s wealthiest cities! 💰 Can you imagine that?
A Shining Pearl ✨
President Xi called Macao a “pearl on the palm” of China. That’s a fancy way of saying it’s very precious! Over the years, Macao’s economy has grown a lot. Back in 1999, its GDP (which means the total value of all goods and services produced) was much smaller. Now, it’s grown seven times bigger! That’s huge! 📈
One Country, Two Systems
Do you know about the “One Country, Two Systems” policy? It’s a special arrangement that lets Macao have its own systems and way of doing things while still being part of China. This policy has helped Macao grow and shine in its own unique way. 🌟
Bridges to the Future 🌉
Macao is connected to a place called Zhuhai in Guangdong Province. Every day, about 320,000 people travel through the Border Gate between these two cities! Many of them head to Hengqin island, which is becoming a cool spot for new ideas and businesses. It’s like a big playground for innovation and entrepreneurship! 🚀
Exciting Times Ahead
During his visit, President Xi will attend celebrations and meet with people to talk about Macao’s future. He believes that by working hard and trying new things, Macao will have an even brighter future. And who doesn’t love a bright future? 😊
Wrapping Up 🎁
Macao’s story shows how much can happen in 25 years. From a small city to a shining pearl, it’s an inspiring journey. Let’s cheer on Macao as it continues to grow and sparkle! 🎊
