The Chinese press comment is in muted terms, and has not as yet developed into a "campaign". It certainly does not suggest that the Chinese are planning early occupation of Macao. Instead, there is a clear hint that if the deadlock continues next Chinese move will be to attempt a boycott of everything Portuguese in the city.
