During his visit for Macau’s 25th anniversary, President Xi Jinping outlined three main expectations for the region: avoiding complacency, attracting talent, and enhancing international engagement.
The new chief executive of Macau is encouraged to develop a clear vision to implement a strategic approach toward economic diversification, particularly focusing on the casino sector.
Attracting talent remains a longstanding issue, suggesting a cultural shift in viewing non-locals as collaborators rather than competitors is necessary for growth.
Macau's potential as a diplomatic tool can be furthered by investing in its brand, fostering relations with Portuguese-speaking countries, and boosting foreign investment.
The letter expresses a wave of optimism in Macau, indicating a strong collective awareness of the need for proactive changes to meet these expectations.
