I have to be honest, I visit the mainland a lot more than I visit Macau, even though both are right next door.

I should probably try to visit Macau more often.

Hong Kong, with a population of only 7 million people, has an economy that is worth $263 billion (in 2012).

That is more than double the GDP of Vietnam, even though Vietnam has a population of 100 million.

Yunnan province，considered one of the poorer regions in Mainland China，has roughly half Vietnam‘s population but enjoys an economny 40% bigger than the said。

I heard that Macau government is about to increase its investment in several poor regions in China. That is a nice cycle: Those corrupt officials spent their balck money in casinos, the local government gives it back to those people in need, sweet~
