Macau has also had an Olympic committee since 1987,it is recognized by Asian Olympic Committees and Portuguese Speaking Olympic Committees, but not recognized by the International Olympic Committee, should any athlete in the territory want to compete in the Olympic Games, he or she should compete for the People's Republic of China, and does not participate in the Olympic Games. However, this conflicts with the Macau Basic Law(Macau must participate in any international activities as an independent entity different from mainland China), so no athletes in Macau have chance to participate in the Olympic Games so far.
