Summary:
This report examines factors which might be relevant for U.S. policy toward Macau after it reverts to Chinese administration on December 20, 1999. It includes a background to the reunification, followed by the discussion of economic and social factors which make the case of Macau different for China than that of Hong Kong, as well as Macau's economic relevance to the United States. It includes an examination of the political status of Macau as a Special Administrative Region of China and of possible areas where controversy might arise concerning Chinese administration. It also discusses some implications for U.S.-Macau relations.
