Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng said on Friday that Macau people have safeguarded, on their own initiative, the “insurmountable line” of opposing political chaos, based on their “excellent tradition” of loving the motherland and their hometown.
Ho made the remarks in a speech at the Spring Festival reception at Macau Tower hosted by the local Central People’s Government Liaison Office.
The chief executive underlined as the “most satisfactory” situation in Macau last year that all segments of civil society remained united in their patriotic approach towards defending Macau’s stability during the “turmoil” affecting other neighbouring regions. He refrained, however, from singling out the unrest in Hong Kong which has been hit by over seven months of violent anti-government protests, riots and vandalism.
