Hey everyone! Have you heard about Macao’s big celebration? ๐ Let’s dive in!
What’s Happening?
Macao is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its return to China! ๐ฒ๐ดโก๏ธ๐จ๐ณ 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? ๐
