Macau — Ke hoʻoikaika nei ke kūlanakauhale casino paʻa loa o ka honua e mālama i nā aloha o ka heluna kanaka nui loa o ka honua.
Ma muli o ka hoʻouka ʻana o ka waʻa, ʻo ka poʻe piliwaiwai e paʻa ana i nā palapala passport Kina e hoʻokuke aku ana i nā ferry a me ka cram, like me ka sardine, i loko o kahi hale dute i loko o kēia kolone Pukiki i hiamoe mua ma kahakai o Kina. Ua laina lākou, he mau haneli hohonu i ke kakahiaka hopena pule, no kahi hōʻailona komo. A laila laina hou lākou no nā kaʻa kaʻa liʻiliʻi a i ʻole ka hopu ʻana i nā kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa i loko o ke kūlanakauhale e piha ana me nā casinos hou, nā pūnāwai a me nā hale hoʻokipa.
"Manaʻo wau ua lilo ia i mea paʻakikī," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo David Green, he loea casino no ka ʻoihana helu helu PricewaterhouseCoopers ma Macau. "ʻAʻole i ʻoki ʻia ka ʻōnaehana e hana i kēlā."
Ulu ulu pāhū
Ma kahi ʻāpana ʻāina he hoʻokahi hapaono wale nō ka nui e like me Wakinekona, DC, ua ʻoi aku ʻo Macau ma mua o Las Vegas i ka makahiki i hala ma ka loaʻa kālā pāʻani, mahalo i ka ulu nui ʻana o nā mākaʻikaʻi Kina. Ke hoʻololi nei lākou i kēia wahi me ka wikiwiki ma mua o ka imperialism a me ka hewa i hoʻonohonoho ʻia.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ke kūlanakauhale i hoʻokumu ai iā WH Auden i nā makahiki 1930 i ka manaʻo "ʻaʻohe mea koʻikoʻi hiki ke hiki ma ʻaneʻi" ke hānau hou ʻia nei he tiger waiwai. ʻOiai ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka ʻāina nui ʻo Kina, me ka piʻi nui ʻana o kona ulu ʻana ma mua o 10 pakeneka i kēlā me kēia makahiki, kū ʻo Macau: Ua ulu kona hoʻokele waiwai i ka makahiki i hala e 30 pakeneka.
Akā me ka hoʻonui nui ʻana o ka hoʻonui ʻana, ke hoʻāʻo nei ka wikiwiki a me ka nui o ka loli i ka hiki o Macau ke hoʻololi.
"He pupule ia," wahi a Paulo Azevedo, ka mea i noho ma Makau no 15 makahiki a ʻo ia ka mea hoʻopuka o ka makasina Macau Business. "Ua loaʻa iā mākou kēia ʻano Mediterranean, ka maikaʻi o ke ola," wahi āna.
Māhele Semiautonomous
Aia ʻo Macau i kahi peninsula a me ʻelua mau mokupuni i hoʻokahi hola holo ferry mai Hong Kong. No nā keneturia ʻehā i hala iho nei, ua holo ʻo Pokukala i ka ʻāina ma ke ʻano he hale kūʻai kūʻokoʻa a me ka hale kūʻai imperial, kālepa siliki, ʻiliahi, porcelain, opiuma, nā mea kaua a me nā waiwai ʻē aʻe, me ka ʻuhane o ka seediness hilahila ʻole. ʻO ka kolone he "weed from Catholic Europe," e like me kā Auden i ʻōlelo ai.
ʻAʻole kōkua ka hoʻonui ʻana o ka pāʻani i nā makahiki 1960. Ua kaulana ʻo Macau no ka palaho a me ka hana ʻino, he demimonde i noho ʻia e nā kiʻi e like me ke kingpin "Broken Tooth," i hoʻopaʻa hope ʻia i ka makahiki 1999. Ma ka 1990s, Macau's casinos, lōʻihi kahi monopoly i paʻa ʻia e ka billionaire Stanley Ho, ua paheʻe a hiki i ka ʻO ka lei aliʻi, ka Hotel Lisboa, ua hōʻeha i kekahi malihini me ke ʻano he "ʻano o ka hale paʻahao palekana liʻiliʻi."
Ua hoʻi hou ʻo Macau i ka mana Kina i ka makahiki 1999, ma ke ʻano he ʻāina semiautonomous e like me Hong Kong. Ua hoʻomaka nā alakaʻi i koho lima ʻia o Beijing i ka hoʻoponopono hou ʻana, ka hoʻopukapuka kālā ʻana i ka ʻoihana a wehe i ka ʻoihana pāʻani i ka hoʻokūkū. Ua wehe ʻia ka casino mua o nā ʻāina ʻē i ka makahiki 2004: ʻo Sands Macao, nona ka mea waiwai o Las Vegas ʻo Sheldon Adelson.
Hoʻonui ʻia ka mākaʻikaʻi
E like me ka laki, ua hoʻomaka ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Sands i kahi hoʻomaka maikaʻi: I ka makahiki 2003, ma hope o ka maʻi ʻana o ka maʻi SARS, ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Kina i ka ʻae ʻana i kona poʻe kamaʻāina e kipa aku iā Macau a me Hong Kong me ka ʻole o ke kauoha ʻana e lilo lākou i ʻāpana o kahi hui huakaʻi. Ua holo ka Pākē i Macau, kahi kokoke loa e piliwaiwai mai ka ʻāina nui, kahi he kānāwai ʻole.
I loko o hoʻokahi makahiki, ua uku ka Sands Macao i kāna hana ponoʻī. Ma ka hopena o ka makahiki i hala, ua aneane ʻehā ka mākaʻikaʻi i loko o ka makahiki he 27 miliona mau kānaka i kēlā me kēia makahiki, e like me nā helu i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka pule i hala. ʻOi aku ma mua o ka hapalua o lākou - a ʻo ka ʻāpana wikiwiki loa - mai ka ʻāina nui ʻo Kina.
No ka ulu ʻana o ka papa waena Kina e maʻa mau nei i ka huakaʻi haole, hiki ke loaʻa nā pūʻolo Macau no ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o $90 i ka pō, me nā mokulele mai Beijing a i Hong Kong. Wahi a nā ʻelele huakaʻi Kina, ʻaʻole ʻae ke kānāwai iā lākou e kūʻai i nā huakaʻi pili piliwaiwai, no laila hoʻoponopono lākou.
Ke ulu nei nā ʻeha
"ʻAʻole mākou i hoʻokomo i ka 'kuka ʻana i nā casinos' ma ka papa huakaʻi huakaʻi," wahi a Guo Yu, ka luna kūʻai ma China Comfort Travel ma Beijing. "ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia kahi alakaʻi huakaʻi e alakaʻi i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i kahi casino, akā inā makemake ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e hele i nā casinos, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hana no ia mea."
No nā ʻoihana kūloko ma Macau, ʻaʻole pilikia ka boom. Ke kū nei nā hale ʻai a me nā hale kūʻai i ka piʻi wikiwiki ʻana o nā hoʻolimalima a me ka nele o ka hana. He hapalua miliona wale nō ka heluna kanaka noho, a hiki i nā casinos ke uku nui loa. I kēia manawa, ua hoʻoweliweli ʻia ka nui o nā alanui o ke kaona e hāʻawi i nā plaza nani o Macau a me nā alanui colonial i ka lokomaikaʻi o kahi hale kūʻai.
Aia kekahi mau hōʻailona o ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻeha. ʻO kahi hui o nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi he 100 o ka ʻāina nui mai kekahi kūlanakauhale ʻoihana nui i hoʻāla i ka haunaele i ke kauwela i hala, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua koi ko lākou alakaʻi iā lākou e hoʻolilo nui i ke kūʻai ʻana a me ka piliwaiwai.
