MEMORANDUM FROM THE COMMISSIONER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
TO THE PORTUGUESE CONSUL GENERAL AT CANTON.
According to Article II of the Treaty between
China and Portugal of 1887s laid down that so long as
the delimitation of the boundaries of Macao is not
concluded everything in respect to them shall continue
as at present without addition, diminution, or alteration
by either of the parties.
At the time this Treaty was signed, the
land boundaries of Macao remain unfixed; out as to the
waters which separate Macao from Chinese territory, the
recognised principles of International Law determined the
boundary to be the middle of the Main Channel.
Disputes have arisen from time to time,
chiefly because the bacao Government ignores the
accepted principles of International Law and endeavours to
extend its control over all the waters between Lappa and
Macao.
The exchange of notes between the Governor
General of the Liang-Kwang, Li, and the Portuguese
Consul-General Cinatii, was the result of an attempt on
the part of the Customs Commissioner to settle a dispute
over anchorage which had caused considerable friction
between the captains of the vessels of Macao and
Kwangtung respectively.

It was merely the demarcation
of an anchorage and did not, in any way, affect China's
jurisdiction over the waters off the shore of Lappa.
This is proved by China's consistent attitude subsequent
to the Note of 1890. The despatch addressed by the
Governor of Kwangtung to the Acting Portuguese Consul-
General dated the 7th of December in the 5th year of
the Republic (1916) makes this point quite clear.
