The
Basic Law of the Macao Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China
(
Chinese
:
中華人民共和國澳門特別行政區基本法
,
Portuguese
:
Lei Basica da Regiao Administrativa Especial de Macau da Republica Popular da China
) is the
organic law
that establishes the
Macau Special Administrative Region
, replacing the
Estatuto Organico de Macau
. It was adopted on 31 March 1993 by China's
National People's Congress
and promulgated by President
Jiang Zemin
; it came into effect on 20 December 1999, following the
transfer of sovereignty over Macau
from Portugal to China.
In accordance with Article 31 of the
Constitution of the People's Republic of China
, Macau has special administrative region status, which provides constitutional guarantees for implementing the policy of "
one country, two systems
" and the constitutional basis for enacting the Basic Law of the Macau Special Administrative Region. The Macau Special Administrative Region is directly under the authority of the
central government of China
in
Beijing
, which controls the
foreign policy
and
defense
of Macau but otherwise grants the region a "high degree of
autonomy
."
