1:30-1:38 When blue light turns red light (PRC represents Red color). It looks like "a murder scene in a horror movie to me. It looks like a spill of blood for me." Or put it that way: The blue sky represents the morning sky, it became a sunset and the Chinese started playing a trumpet in the anthem. When Portuguese-colony Macau flag represents an "angel", now became Chinese-reverted Macau flag a symbol of white lotus in a green river.
No, when the light turns red, that means Macau 🇲🇴 is transferred from Portugal 🇵🇹 to mark the end of that country’s rule, and China 🇨🇳 starts ruling Macau.
The end of the Portuguese Empire...first Brazil in 1822, portuguese India in 1961, later portuguese africa and Timor in 1974, and last, the daughter of Portugal - Macau
This ceremony is practically identical to the handover of Hong Kong two years earlier - couldn't they have thought of something more original? The Chinese hav even used the same artificial wind machine on the flags!
Not entirely true. Portuguese troops left Macau in 1975, and most of Macau's income came from trade with the mainland - or gambling, not from Lisbon. Anyway, China wanted to settle the issue of Hong Kong first.
Yes, you are right. In Portugal we have the Olivença territory occupied by Spain. Spain has not right under Olivença. I hope there will be justice as in Macao.
Não entendiu o que estava a dizer, e não precisa de ser tão abusivo! Não dissese que Portugal fosse 'backward' (atrasado), disse que é 'backward-looking' (retrospectivo).
@HKUK94 It seems like u don't know anything at all. Chairman Mao once answered the British general that fate of China lies with in this 9.6 million km2. So what is that mean? It means that they are sastify with their land! Have u ever seen a Chinese colony out side that 9.6 m. land? Plus, that 9.6 million km2 of course include Tibet, Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Anyway do u know how long that Tibet stayed independent until Mao united Tibet again?
I know that there are people in Macau who speak Portuguese, but most people don't. Most people in Hong Kong don't speak English - even under British rule, most didn't. Anyway, China is interested in the Portuguese language because of trade with Brazil and Angola, not Portugal!
@dryan5 Ok, now take a look of the resources England, France and Spain had and make a fair judgement of what the portuguese have achieve. England may be the most sucessful colonial power but not the most glorious one. You are forgetting that USA reached the superpower status just a century ago. Brazil is independent since 1882, one century later than USA... Do I need to say more? It's amazing what is happening in Brazil, just check the news.
Não estava a criticar o Brasil, ao contrário, nem à herança portuguesa de Timor Leste ou a Indonésia. A língua principal de Timor Leste, o tétum, é cheio de palavras portuguesas - e o indonésio tem muitas também! Quanto à utilidade das línguas francesas e italianas, é o seus argumentos que são irrelevantes - estava a falar da Europa, não acerca das antigas colónias . A população da França é 61,5 milhões, da Italia 58,1, e de Portugal, apenas 10,6
@kmfw72 Your mistake is comparing the portuguese/brazilian diferences with USA/UK. They are the ones who must compare with us. Anyway, the portuguese language has envolved since its creation. I also don't like the recent treaty but the 2 countries are making an effort to modernizing the language unlike the arrogant brits and the americans popcorns.
@Microglia1 That´s ok with me, but in order to that also the moors (arabs) should pay for all what they have done to both portuguese and spaniards (visigoths) during almost 700 years. And other people too of course.. This is a bit complicated but there could of course be a good solutions that could be found.
I wasn't talking about Brazil's commercial partners, I was talking about China's. I think it's silly to suggest that the Portuguese language is a way into trading with the EU - French and Italian are more useful. As regards Portuguese cultural heritage, I know all about this, I have been in East Timor and Indonesia. However, the problem with Portugal is that it is too backward-looking, always going on about the 15th-16th century. Graça a Deus, o Brasil não é como isso!
@HKUK94 Yes they did! I think if they were to be returned I wound have returned them to the Republic of China. atleast they are smart enough to take care of these territories!
What interest do the Portuguese have in Macau? They never had much interest in the place when they ran it - if the Movimento de Forças Armadas had had its way, Macau would have been handed back to China in 1975! Most Macanese didn't speak Portuguese then and they certainly don't speak it now. If the Portuguese interest in Macau were that great, TAP would still have direct flights from Lisbon, discontinued after two years due to lack of demand.
@ruimelo73 No it wasn't. It is clear from everywhere you look in the history that the British were far more successful in their colonisation of the world than any other nation. Their greatest colony, the US, continues to dominate the world. It's far more than Portugal can say for Brazil. Not that colonialism is something to be particularly proud of.
@HKUK94 "California and Arizona was part of Mexico during the 1700s " it seems like u just reveal ur true self mate. U said that China can't do this to Tibet can't do that to Tibet. For fuck sake! If both California and Arisona weren't yours and u took over them y can't China do so? Plus, Tibet was part of China since Yuan dynasty as ZTZ999 said so there is nothing wrong if China want to unite Tibet once and for all.
@CathySweet93 Would you prefer to be colonised or to be butchered the communists? At least with colonisation of macau, it provided a safe haven for people fearing the mainland! Long Live Portugal, Long Live Macao, and Heaven the Guomindang!
@ZTZ999 "Tibet was part of China since Yuan Dynasty". Well guess what, California and Arizona was part of Mexico during the 1700s as well!! Please further your education before you try to make a discussion with me.
The end of an old empire... the birth of a bright modern nation of the world. Look at the Portuguese military, a women bearing arms and they are lead by a Portuguese asian. I see an example to the world of a peaceful multicultural and multiracial great nation of the 21st century!
Great to see you love your country and you are ready to defend it no matter what. Still you should search in youtube for "Olympic Torch Relay Protest in Argentina" try India also. I didn't see nobody attacking Asians only the Chinese government behaviour so if anyone here is concerned about race its you. Finally by whites i guess you refer to indigenous European people I guess you will understand my point here as East Asians should also not be referred to as yellows by others.
Yes, and look at Portugal now - poorest and most backward country in Western Europe. Few people take Portugal seriously in Europe, and in Asia nobody does. Brazil is the country of the future and always will be, Portugal is the country of the past and always has been. Now the Portuguese have to write their like the Brazilians - no chance that the British will use US spelling.
macau is not china, its not colonialism, i support the african and asian descolonization, but macau and hong kong wanted to be british and portuguese , not chinese, at least, they are not chinese now but controlled by china god bless british hong kong and portuguese macau
We want our own people to run the government. not a foreign power. A citizen of macau or hk, not one from the british or portugese office assigned over. It's patronising and dumb to think we want that. Unless britian is willing to offer us full british passports and full rights and priveleges of a british citizen, then we'll think about it. But that'll never happen as they don't want an influx of asian migrants.
The Portuguese anthem is so beautiful!
If only such peaceful handovers occured in Mozambique and Angola.
We also wich it could have been so, but the cold war between USA and USSR made it impossible.
End of a empire...

Macao, the first and last European colony in China.
God bless.
It was 1974 - not 1972.
This ceremony is practically identical to the handover of Hong Kong two years earlier - couldn't they have thought of something more original? The Chinese hav even used the same artificial wind machine on the flags!
It sad to see the flag of my country to go down!

Macau!
@HKUK94 ain't hongkong was a colony too by britain?
Yes, you are right. In Portugal we have the Olivença territory occupied by Spain. Spain has not right under Olivença. I hope there will be justice as in Macao.

10 Years on..
and it's about to turn 30
Portugal shouldn't have left Macao. They brought western civilization to the East! Long live Portugal!
Macao is part of Portugal as Hong Kong is part of Britian!!
@HKUK94 Why not ?

And where are you from??China will take economic poer away from Hong Kong and china SLOWLY, Macau will not be spared either!!
閉嘴
macau is not china, its not colonialism, i support the african and asian descolonization, but macau and hong kong wanted to be british and portuguese , not chinese, at least, they are not chinese now but controlled by china
god bless british hong kong and portuguese macau
We want our own people to run the government. not a foreign power.
A citizen of macau or hk, not one from the british or portugese office assigned over. It's patronising and dumb to think we want that.
