In an exclusive interview with DotDotNews, Professor Lam Fat Iam, a Member of the Legislative Assembly of the Macao Special Administrative Region and the Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Macao Polytechnic University, compares Hong Kong and Macao in their historical backgrounds and roles in international cultural exchange. While Hong Kong maintains broad‑ranging global connections, Macao focuses on exchanges between China and Portuguese‑speaking countries and Belt‑and‑Road nations, as well as overseas Chinese communities in Southeast Asia. He points out that Hong Kong and Macao have their strengths yet face scale‑related limits. The integrated Guangdong‑Hong Kong‑Macao Greater Bay Area can build world‑class cultural influence, help tell China's stories to the world, and reduce misunderstandings among different civilizations.
