Macau is a small territory located on the Western Side of the Pearl River Delta near the South China Sea. In terms of its present status, it is a special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) established in line with the so-called “one country, two systems” principle laid down in the PRC Constitution. The scope of the Macau Special Administrative Region’s (Macau SAR) political and regulatory powers is regulated in the Macau Basic Law (MBL), which grants the Macau SAR a wide range of political and economic rights. These rights also establish the Macau SAR as a local and global actor, with, on the one hand, a wide field of regulatory autonomy in domestic affairs, and also in international affairs, for instance, as a member of various international organizations, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) on the other. The present report presents a brief overview of the legal regime governing the issue of genetic technology and food security in the Special Administrative Region of Macau.
