Sonny Lo Shiu-Hing, professor na Universidade canadiana de Waterloo, tem escrito sobre Macau desde o final dos anos 1980. A sua investigação centra-se sobretudo em torno do triângulo jogo-criminalidade-política. Este ano publicou "The Politics of Cross-Border Crime in Greater China: Case studies of mainland China, hong Kong and Macao". Na edição de Abril do "Hong Kong Journal", Lo oferece uma panorâmica sobre os desafios da economia de casino de Macau:
(...) it is worth noting that Xi’s attitude about casino development has been more cautious and incremental than his predecessor.
Macao’s challenges are tremendous: it has to compete with Zhuhai and Hong Kong while maintaining its special qualities as a region with a World Heritage Site designation and a place where casino capitalism can be combined with industrial diversity
it’s likely that Edmund Ho will remain a shadow leader whose advice is sought by his successor.
Macao’s casino capitalism is destined to be closely monitored, protected, regulated, and adjusted by Beijing.
Com um periodicidade mensal, Sonny Lo publica artigos de análise na revista macau Closer. O último "One speech, Two lessons" procura descodificar um discurso recente de Wen Jiabao sobre macau e Hong Kong.
