systems form of government but that's where the similarities end with just one hour ferry ride separating aboard these places marco has proved to be more receptive to chinese than hong kong. for china it's time to embrace macau more than ever and like is for belize brother hong kong the city has displayed much more obedience to beijing 20 years after being handed over from particle the anniversary is more than just a celebration it's also a chance for beijing to emphasize sovereignty over both former colonies or so in a sense hong kong and macau retired to the motherland dealing with these 2 special administrative region is entirely china's enteral affairs are none of the business of foreign forces. but she has little to worry about in macau

beijing has already firmly established its power there while protests continue in hong kong just across the bay in macau piece compared to a sibling macau as much smaller and much more dependent on beijing and there's an historical aspect to it after leftist riots inspired by the cultural revolution in 1966 probating forces successfully penetrated all walks of life in macau the administration the to the pressure of probating activists and struggles to keep control of its government social disorder and financial instability joined colonial rule also drove residents to be more proof. as to 20 years you have a. big change. business as it is is. more and more although my opinion macao don't say anything we're ok with in ordinary life

but when kong people want to fight for a lot of things. macau has urged prices from presidency for its political calm but to make sure that stays education from early on is needed. so with common scared beijing believes patriotism is even better. i did have a correspondent phoebe kong joins us from across the bay in hong kong good to see you how are president xi jinping commons in moscow being viewed in hong kong. while from hong kong perspective the people in macau are always perceived as more obedient to beijing partly because of his population on my plate and from china and it has to weaken. and choosing peace remarks is widely seen as a rebuke and are even a lecture to hong kong current political turmoil that he mentioned are he praised

the hong kong people over there a strong sense of national identity specially these so-called patriotic education that they have implemented over the last 2 decades and on the same day right after she came out to hong kong government has announced some kind of a new measures that they're going to suspend the duties of the t. shirt if they got arrested or file a complaint so this is perceived as something that the education bureau is going to tighten measures to be the education sector and this is exactly what beijing things home and tribute to the current political crisis so called peephole they think in maybe a handful of beijing the way they are so complex home home in a way they want in the future. right phoebe kong speaking to us from hong kong thank you very much for that. for south korea's conservatives the country's
