The Director of the city’s Policy Research and Regional Development Bureau, Mi Jian, has indicated that Macau will have no future if it does not face the reality that the Greater Bay Area initiative will have a significant impact on human trafficking to Macau. At the State Council Information Office press conference last week, Mi was asked about the human trafficking concerns that may arise in Macau and Hong Kong. “[The SARs] must be mentally prepared,” said Mi. “It does not mean we [the SARs] have no measures [to counter the problem]. It tests a government department’s intelligence. Cooperation among the three regions is also necessary.”
