  6. It's not really gambling.. cos in Chinese history, learning to play strategy games is a form of moral civilian etiquette. So a lot of Chinese do play that for enjoyment. The issue is how western eyes see the Chinese situation and then the Chinese see their reputation dampen deliberately... Hence it would kick off. So because Macau was a shipping port along with HK as well. They tried to collect the customs fee. This kind of fee in the UK at least, ends up being public money. I.e. for the community or for the people. So in a way, what you lose in the game, you will see it back in your child's schooling. Since there wasn't an actual government structure at that time in Macau. So.... And Mr Ho being half Dutch and from Europe.... His forefathers have seen a lot of warfare before. Hence this son.. tried his best to avoid bloodshed. At the height of the Dutch Empire.... Their population was in the millions. Maybe around 100 millions ?... Of course due to war, they lost a lot of people. Many Dutch are also Eurasians too now. Many Canadians or Americans are half Dutch. Many so called Chinese or Asians have Dutch lineages.... But they don't know this in their history. If the video maker says that this was the history of Macau.. then does that mean he himself is the son or the descent of such harsh conditions ?... This is why the Dutch have a very very liberal mindset... In order to survive, they would rather be liberal.... Many people don't support them these days though. Despite the video tells you about how these people rose into prominence...
