The Macao Special Administrative Region is playing a particularly effective role in facilitating mining cooperation between China and Lusophone Africa. This can be seen in economic terms. Trade between China and Portuguese-speaking countries worldwide soared by 35% from US$34 billion in 2006 to US$46.35 billion in 2007. Mining is playing an increasing role in trade as China seeks out more natural resources and the Lusophone Africa countries provide many possibilities.
