Macao: The so-called colony usually means that an independent country loses its due sovereignty due to its occupation and jurisdiction by other countries, and thus becomes a subordinate country of other countries. For example, Angola was occupied by Portugal and became a Portuguese colony. Although Macao was also occupied and ruled by Portugal, it is well known that Macao has been a part of China territory since ancient times, and the China government naturally enjoys sacred sovereignty over Macao. This fact will never change because Portugal occupied Macao or the Qing government signed an unequal treaty with Portugal, nor will it change because Portugal unilaterally regards Macao as its "overseas province". This shows that the concept of colony obviously does not apply to Macao.
