  2. It is a semiautonomous region within China. It was once a Portuguese colony, which is pretty much the city of Macau and a few nearby towns. Like Hong Kong it will fully be incorporated 50 years after China annexed it, the annexation was in 1999 so full incorporation within China is expcted to take place in 2049

  3. Macau is an administrative region of southeast China comprising Macao Peninsula and two offshore islands in the South China Sea west of Hong Kong.

    Portuguese traders first arrived in Macau in 1513, and it soon became the chief market centre for trade between China and Japan. Portugal declared it an overseas province in 1844 and an overseas territory in 1951. In 1999 Portugal returned it to Chinese rule.
