"To use a catchcry that's been popular in Taiwan lately, the available information on Macao's history 'lacked objectivity,'" says Ng Chi-leung, Macanese historian and foundation committee member. "Despite its position in contacts between East and West and its long history of colonial rule, Macao's history had been reduced to a tool for framing Sino-Portuguese relations."
「澳門歷史的困境，用台灣近年熱得發燙的詞語來說，在於『缺乏主體性』，」歷史學家、澳門基金會行政委員吳志良解釋，游離於東西方夾縫中，長期居於殖民統治，澳門歷史過往只被理解為中葡關係史的縮影。
