Quotes
[edit]- It seems that the reason to end horse racing in Macau is not economical only but also ideological: putting together sport and betting is regarded as immoral by the Marxist ethic revamped by Xi Jinping.

- Macau, often caricatured as Asia’s Las Vegas, has long been overshadowed by Hong Kong in global conversations about Chinese authoritarianism. Its booming casino industry and relatively small population—just under 700,000—have helped insulate it from the kind of mass protests that rocked Hong Kong in 2014 and 2019. But the absence of spectacle should not be mistaken for stability.
