What’s Happening?
Macao is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its return to China! π²π΄β‘οΈπ¨π³ That means it’s been 25 years since Macao became part of China again.
Who Attended?
China’s President, Xi Jinping, went to Macao to join the festivities. He attended a special gathering and took part in the inauguration ceremony of Macao’s new government leaders.
Why is this Important?
This is a big deal because it marks a quarter-century of Macao being a Special Administrative Region (that’s a fancy way of saying it has some of its own rules while still being part of China). This system is called “One Country, Two Systems.” Pretty cool, right? π
