Some years ago I had the pleasure of visiting Macau. Poised like a gaudy polyp on the Pearl River Delta, the former Portuguese colony is a now one of China's special administrative regions with its own peculiar and permissive autonomy. Thanks to this and the Chinese love of a wager, tiny Macau has exploded into the world's largest centre for gambling, easily outgunning Las Vegas or Singapore.
