Hong Kong and Macao Sudden Search

On the occasion of the latest wave of epidemic in Macau, it is expected to "clear zero". The Macau SAR Government officially announced the opening of six gambling cards on Friday (July 29).EssenceAfter the competition committee reviews, the winning company is expected to start the longest 10 years of operation next year.

After checking the information, since the first time in 2006 surpassed Las Vegas in 2006, the revenue of Macau gaming industry has long occupied the world's first gaming market.As the world's largest gambling market, Macau, this time, a new round of gambling bidding for the world has naturally attracted great attention from the outside world and found that two new characteristics have appeared in it.

First, the Macau government specially emphasizes that when the bid evaluation, the gambling company that will be considered in the bid can promise to focus on expanding overseas customer sources and make investment in non -gaming projects.This was not mentioned when the Macau government conducted a round of gambling cards 21 years ago.

The second is the first time that the bidding involves national security.According to Article 45 of the Macau New "Gaming Law" Act, after listening to the opinions of the Gaming Commission, Macau's Specials can terminate the business approval of Bo enterprise based on reasons such as "harm the security of the country or the Macau Special Administrative Region".

As we all know, Macau is just a small project with only 31 square kilometers. The resource endowment is lacking, and the foreign dependence is very high.

After the return of Macau in 1999, the Chinese central government introduced a series of "Personal Tour" in order to support the development of Macau, especially "personal tour", adding new impetus to the development of Macau.In recent years, the Macau gaming industry has continued to develop at a high speed. The fundamental reason is that the number of tourists in mainland China has increased.

But objectively speaking, the Macau gaming industry has continued to grow, and its negative impact on mainland China, especially Guangdong Province, is also increasing; for example, in crimes related to gambling, the number of crimes of contributing to the victims of the victims in mainland Chinaconstant increase.According to statistics, in recent years, high -level officials and leaders of state -owned enterprises that have been publicly investigated and dealt with in recent years have also lost money in the Macau Casino. The amount is as small as millions of millions, and the impact is extremely bad.

For Beijing officials, the booming development of the Macau gambling industry has obviously derived many hidden dangers in national security.On the one hand, some mainland Chinese corrupt officials use Macau casinos to launder money and have a large amount of wealth. On the other hand, US -funded forces have continued to rise in the Macau gaming industry, and there are signs of spreading from casino to politics, and they have begun to threaten China's political security.

In fact, in the current six licensed gaming companies in Macau, in addition to Wynn Macau and Sands China, MGM China is also a joint venture established by the American gaming giant MGM and Macau Gambler He Hongzhang's daughter He Chaoqiong.It can be said that in recent years, American -funded companies have occupied the "half of the river" in Macau's gambling industry, which has great influence in Macau society.

When the Macau government conducted gambling cards more than 20 years ago, it turned out to be a green light for US -funded companies in order to introduce advanced technology and management experience in the American gaming industry.And U.S. -funded enterprises have entered Macau in the past few years, which has indeed greatly promoted the economic development of Macau, but it is also not conducive to China's national security interests in Macau.

For example, in recent years, American -funded companies have developed rapidly in Macau in recent years, and their status in socio -economy has become more prominent, and it will inevitably increase their right to speak.According to Macau media reports, Yimei Bo Bo Enterprise Group has spared no expense to delay investment and put pressure on the Macau government in the early years, asking the official amendment to make the casino borrowing legalization.This move is essentially to interfere with the governance within the Macau government.

In contrast, the origin of the US -funded casino and the American intelligence department is more sensitive.According to reports, at the beginning of the early days of the opening of the United States, the US -funded company hired retired agents from the Federal Investigation Agency to serve as senior management of the Ministry of Security.Although they have retired, they are still closely related to the US government, which is equivalent to two "nails" in the United States in Macau, which seriously threatens China's national security.

At present, although the influence of the US forces is still in a controllable general, Macau and even Beijing officials are worried about the entry of American capital, worrying that the US consortium is strong, and will manipulate the Macau gambling market in the future, or even evenFurther affects Macau's politics.Especially in recent years, Sino -US relations are tense, which means that Macau has become more and more risks to become the Sino -US diplomatic game battlefield.

It is not difficult to understand why the Macau official emphasizes that in the latest round of gambling card competition, it emphasizes that the target Blog company must expand more overseas customers, and its operations must be carried out on the premise of maintaining national security.Especially the latter, many people believe that the inclusion of relevant national security provisions in the new "gaming method" will have a deterrent effect on US -funded companies.

Of course, the new requirements have not completely solved the problem of the Macau industry's single.Over the years, the Macau economy has highly dependent on the gaming industry, bringing many unstable factors to the development of society.For example, the outbreak of Macau's epidemic this year, and the reduction of gaming revenue has seriously affected the Macau government's revenue.After the epidemic in Macau, how to participate in the construction of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area more deeply to make the Macau economy develop healthily, this is another major task in the future.
