According to a report in the Macao Daily, the incident of a gambling intermediary surnamed Zhou sparked extensive discussion in Macao and the mainland. Ye Nong, dean of the Macao Research Institute of Jinan University, pointed out that the incident sounded the alarm to Macao, believing that the premise for the healthy development of the gambling industry is to face squarely its extensive negative impact and conduct a review, otherwise, even if the relevant legal system is revised and improved, the significance will be very limited.
Ye Nong said that if Macao gaming wants to develop healthily, it cannot allow free competition, its scale should also be moderately reduced, and its future development direction should take into account the overall situation of the country, not just its own economic interests. And because the gambling industry, especially after American capital entered Macao, a tiny place has become the forefront of the game between China and the United States, which is also worth pondering.
