History

During the Second World War, when Macau was under Portuguese rule, there was a British Consul, John Pownall Reeves, who served between June 1941 and August 1946.^[2] He remained there following the fall of British-ruled Hong Kong to the Japanese, as Portugal was neutral, helping 9000 British subjects who had become refugees from Japanese-occupied colony.^[3]

The British Consulate, which also operated a Hong Kong Government Permit Office, was maintained in Macau until 1967, when, following political unrest the previous December, it was targeted by pro-Communist demonstrators who attempted to make the Consul, Norman Ions, repeat anti-British and anti-Portuguese slogans, before it was evacuated and closed.^[4]
