Macao is playing a positive role in facilitating the entry of Chinese electric vehicle makers into Portuguese-speaking countries, global accountancy firm Deloitte said in a recent report. The report, released on May 23 at the BEYOND EXPO 2024, reflected the growing presence of Chinese cars in global markets and the strategic role of Macao in enabling these moves. Macao could harness the abundant talents with language expertise and knowledge of law from Portuguese-speaking countries to facilitate Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturers’ entry into these markets, Deloitte wrote in the Chinese language report. Held between May 22-25 in Macao, this year’s BEYOND EXPO had a theme focused on Latin America for the first time, as the Chinese Special Administrative Region has historically had close and extensive relations with Portuguese-speaking countries. The Asian tech event hopes to become a bridge for communication between Chinese enterprises and South American markets, according to co-founder Jason Ho.
