The Chinese government has decided to set up a new post in Macau to oversee and guide national security-related operations, with the aim of increasing control in Macau as well as in Hong Kong.
According to China's state-run Xinhua News Agency, the Chinese government has decided to establish a new "national security advisor" in charge of national security in Macau, and four people including the top of the Chinese government's branch office in Macau will be appointed. I made it clear.
The adviser in charge will participate in the Macau Government's National Security Commission to supervise and guide national security-related operations.
Similar posts have been set up in Hong Kong, which is under the "one country, two systems" as in Macau, when the "Hong Kong National Security Law" was enforced in June last year to crack down on anti-government movements. ..
In Macau, in the legislative council elections held in September, the pro-democracy candidates were revoked by the authorities for not being loyal to the regime, and the pro-democracy seats disappeared.
Although the influence of pro-democracy critics on the Chinese government has been limited, the Chinese government aims to strengthen control by establishing a new post, similar to Hong Kong, which seeks to contain dissenting opinions. It seems that.
