16世纪中叶以后,葡萄牙人逐步占领澳门,并于1887年3月迫使清政府签订了《中葡和好通商条约》,取得了对澳门的行政管理权。我国政府按照“一国两制”的伟大构想寻求澳门问题的解决,并于1987年3月同葡萄牙签订了关于澳门问题的联合声明,宣布我国政府将于1999年12月20日对澳门恢复行使主权。澳门终于抖落了历史的尘埃,回到了祖国的怀抱。 After the middle of the 16th century, the Portuguese gradually occupied Macao, and in March 1887 forced the Qing government to sign the “Treaty of Peace and Prosperity between China and Portugal,” and obtained the right to administer Macao. In accordance with the great concept of “one country, two systems,” my government sought the solution of the Macao question. In March 1987, China signed a joint statement with Portugal on the issue of Macao and announced that my government will resume its exercise of sovereignty over Macao on December 20, 1999. Macao finally shake off the dust of history and return to the embrace of the motherland.
