MACAO - The government of China's Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) firmly opposes the report by the European Union (EU) on Macao's affairs, the SAR government said in a statement on Wednesday.

"The EU made irresponsible comments on Macao's affairs, which are entirely China's domestic affairs," the statement said.

Since Macao's return to the motherland, it has acted in strict accordance with the Constitution and the Basic Law, and the principles of "one country, two systems" and "Macao people administering Macao" with a high degree of autonomy have been implemented, said the statement.

Macao has maintained its overall prosperity, stability and social harmony, and Macao people enjoy unprecedented rights, the statement added.
