Hong Kong protesters denied entering Macao during Xi Jinping visit

Before the arrival of Xi, about 10 pro-democracy protesters -- including activist Leung Kwok Hung with the nickname “Flockjet” -- showed postaries with photographs of Prime Minister Xi and Hong Kong government chief Kerry Lam at the mall near the ferry terminal heading towards Macao.

The demonstrators highlighted five of the previously recognised demands, including the search for a higher degree of democracy, and remembered the democratic movement from Beijing's Tiananmen square that died out of the Chinese army in 1989.

The group was not allowed into the ferry, and the company reported Macao police, urging authorities not to allow their entry into the territory, explaining that Leung and the others were aiming to disrupt activities for the 20th anniversary of Macao's return under China's control.

Leung said that the Chinese “government wants to make Macao a global financial centre, such as Hong Kong”, and asked “s (the Chinese government) to convince people to invest there if it prevents them from leaving”.

Macao like Hong Kong has a special law system in relation to China. Before commemorating the 20th anniversary of Macao's return to Chinese control, state media in recent weeks have highlighted the former Portuguese Colonel as a bright example of the system's functioning “a country ) two geox1> systems.

This principle in Hong Kong was questioned during antigovernmental demonstrations that have lasted since the beginning of June and since then turned into a fight for democratic rights and protection of guaranteed civil liberties in 1997 when Britain turned territory into China authorities.

Unlike Hong Kong, Macao residents make much less resistance to the communist government in Beijing
