Today I'm talking to the brilliant WWII historian, Dr. Helena Lopes, who is a lecturer in Modern Asian History at Cardiff University, in Wales. Originally haling from Portugal, Helena researched the South China enclave of Macau, which was the first and last European colonial settlement in East Asia. Her study entitled “Neutrality and Collaboration in South China: Macau during the Second World War” focuses on the experience of this tiny plot of land which at the time was controlled by the Portuguese colonial state. Since Portugal declared neutrality in WWII and remained free, its neutrality also extended to Macau, which the Japanese, Chinese, Americans and other belligerents actually respected. Although the Japanese did invade Hong Kong — which was under the British — they didn’t touch Macau. Now that constellation of a neutral territory in East Asia led to some very interesting constellations.
