Macau independence is a stance advocating for Macau's independence from the People's Republic of China. In 2016, the topic of Macau independence was brought up due to the controversy over the revision of Legislative Assembly of Macau election law, which is indirectly influenced by the Hong Kong Legislative Council oath-taking controversy. In 2017, different media outlets sensationalized the Macau independence issue; among such media outlets are Global Times and Jornal San Wa Ou from Macau. These groups were criticized by various parties for it. Critics expressed concerns that raising such discussions could turn a non-existent and unpopular topic into reality, comparing it to the way Hong Kong independence became increasingly discussed after being brought up by former Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying A commentary by Radio France Internationale suggested that the Macau independence topic was a narrative fabricated by authorities as a means to suppress opposition. Historically, Portugal attempted to make China recognize Macau's independence during its weakened state following the Opium Wars, but successive Chinese governments have never relinquished sovereignty over Macau.
