On October 1, the Macao SAR Government held a flag-raising ceremony at Golden Lotus Plaza to celebrate the 77th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. For the first time, the flag guard team used Chinese martial arts to enter the stadium. At 8 a.m., a flag guard team composed of the Macau Security Police SWAT Force used Chinese marching to escort the national flag of the People's Republic of China and the Macau SAR flag into the venue. A honor guard composed of security police, fire, customs, and police silver bands played the national anthem. The whole audience stood up and watched the national flag and regional flag slowly rise. The Executive Council of the Macao Special Administrative Region has previously completed discussions to amend the draft administrative regulations on the “Rules of Salute and Etiquette” to introduce salute and ceremonial methods based on the Chinese People's Liberation Army's salutation methods and Chinese manners. The regulations came into effect on October 1. A spokesman for the Executive Council of the Macao Special Administrative Region said that the amendments are aimed at deepening patriotism and education for Macao, better highlighting the country's sovereignty and national spirit, and being in line with national standards.
