The Situation in Macao
In January, under extreme pressure from
the local communists and the Chinese authorities
in Canton, the Portuguese authorities in Macao
accepted a number of humiliating demands put
forward by the local communists. The most
important were:
(a) the dismissal and punishment of the
Chief of Police and the Military Commander;
(b) the payment of compensation (amounting
to over £125,000)
to the victims of
police action;
(c)
the release of all those arrested during
demonstrations in Macao;
(a)
a written and published apology by the
Governor of Macac admitting his "crimes".
In addition, the Portuguese accepted an extra
demand by the Canton Eureau of Foreign Affairs
that "Chiang Kai-shek's special agents", who
had been arrested in 1963, should be returned
to China and the Macao authorities should
guarantee that no Nationalist activities would
henceforth be allowed in Macao. This further
