Portugal was neutral in WW2 but Japan still attacked East Timor so I wonder why they spared Macau.

China has a number of post colonial problems to deal with but they’re not the ones to use force they’ll ask you nicely once then 20 years later tell you nicely again

i met a guy from macau one time and its interesting that he told me that when portugal left everyone got the portuguesse passport as a surprise,and that all macanesse people have some sort of portuguesse ancestor in his case it was a grandpa but they all do because of the small size of the teritory except the new imigrants from the mainland that now from a solid chuck of the population

reminder that Hong Kong (like many former colonies) wants to return to the UK. the 97 handover was extremely unpopular in Hong Kong!
