According to news from the website of the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China in the Macao Special Administrative Region on the 9th, in response to the US State Department's recent release of the so-called “2026 Country Report on Human Trafficking,” which maliciously slandered the Macao Special Administrative Region's remarkable effectiveness in fighting human trafficking, discrediting the human rights situation, and grossly interfering in Macao affairs and China's internal affairs, the Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Macao expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this. Since Macau's return to the motherland, with strong support from the central government, the SAR government has adhered to the rule of law, resolutely cracked down on illegal and criminal acts such as human trafficking, actively and effectively carried out preventive work, and continued to participate in international and regional cooperation. Macau's population crime rate has been extremely low or zero for many years, and it is internationally recognized as one of the safest cities in the world. The vast majority of Macao residents and expatriates live and work peacefully all year round, and their safety and legal rights are fully protected. Once again, we urge the US side to set the right position, reflect on its human trafficking missteps, immediately stop year after year of political manipulation with ulterior motives, and immediately stop interfering in Macao affairs and China's internal affairs in any form.
