Editorial Reviews:

On December 20, 1999, Portugal will formally hand over Macau to China, ending 442 years of Portuguese control of the tiny peninsula and two small islands. Though comprised of just over nine square miles (with new reclamation), Macau was once one of the world's most important trading ports. In recent years, Macau has become a vital alternative to Hong Kong as a gateway to the booming economy of the People's Republic of China. Macau is first examined from a historical perspective with its responses to World War ll, Korean War and China's civil war and China's Cultural Revolution. The secret agreements between China and Portugal in the 1960s and 1970s are described, along with agreements for the return of Macau to China and its prospects for the future under Chinese control.
