i hoki mai ki Haina i te tau 1999. Whai muri i te 1974 Carnation Revolution, i whakarerea e Portugal a Macau hei kawanatanga tuawhenua i te 1976 ka whakaae ko ia he "rohe Hainamana i raro i te whakahaere Portuguese". I muri i te mutunga o nga whiriwhiringa mo te heke mai o Hong Kong, ka timata a Haina me Portugal ki te whakaaro mo Macau i te tau 1986 ka whakaae ki te Whakapuakanga Tahi a Haina-Portuguese i te tau 1987.
