The pro-Beijing camp, pro-establishment camp or pro-China camp (Chinese: 建制派 or 親中派; Portuguese: campo pró-Pequim, campo pró-estabelecimento or campo pró-China) is a political alignment in Macau which supports the policies and views of the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party before and after the handover of Macau on 20 December 1999. The term can be used to identify politicians, political parties and individuals. Their rivals are the pro-democracy camp.
History
[edit]Prior to handover
[edit]Some of the political groups within the pro-establishment camp, such as the Union for Development and Progress Promotion Union have had a long history of following the directions of the People's Republic of China and of loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party since the colonial period.[citation needed]
Policies
[edit]Pro-establishment members are united by the political ideology or economic policies of being closer to Beijing, as much out of pragmatism as of conviction, but vary on other issues within the context of Macau.[citation needed]
Members of the camp
[edit]Civil organisations, individual social activists, political parties, political groups and lawmakers who share a similar belief in democracy are all considered members of this camp. (number of Legislative Deputies shown in brackets)
The following entities are routinely referred to as members of the Pro-establishment camp:
- Traditional Leftists [1]
- Pro-business
- Functional groups
- Macau Business Interest Union
- Macau professional Interest Union
- Excellent Culture and Sports Union Association

在所有傳統社團中,五個有影響力的親共左派社團尤為重要。他們是澳門中華總商會、澳門工會聯合總會(工聯)、澳門中華教育會、澳門街坊總會和澳門婦女聯合總會。從勞工、教育到社區,這些社團可說是涵蓋了澳門最重要的社會部門(Chou,2015)。
