Macao Basic Law Adopted by National People's Congress

March 31st, 1993 31 years ago

The Macao Basic Law was adopted by the Eighth National People's Congress of China. This legal framework outlines the governance structure of Macao following its handover from Portugal to China. The law was set to take effect on December 20, 1999, aligning with the planned resumption of sovereignty over Macao. This transition was significant for the region's political landscape as it aimed to maintain a high degree of autonomy and established the principle of 'one country, two systems,' which would guide Macao's future.
