Abstract: Emerging from a long period of closeness to the world and defensive diplomacy Kurlantzick (2007), the Chinese government actively encourages their domestic enterprises to go global with the implementation of the “Go Global” policy, launched in 2001. Chinese government “Go Global” policy encourages their domestic enterprises to go global, investing outward following its own commercial strategies but also fitting in China diplomatic goals and national interests, Ilhéu (2010). Since these models require a “win win” perception of the results of the mutual cooperation to fit into Chinese soft power strategy our research questions are “What is the Portuguese perspective of the utility of Macao Forum? What is the perception of the Portuguese companies on the outcomes of Portugal´s participation? Can the Forum contribute to the exports growth and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) expansion of Portuguese companies in China, in Macao, in the PSCs? Can Macao Forum play the role of economic platform between China and the Portuguese Speaking Countries? Can Macao Forum increase the business networks between China, Macao and PSCs? What economic results Portuguese companies expect to obtain by its participation in the Forum?
