In China, USB charging has been mandatory for new mobile phones since 2007. By and large, phones will also sync using standard USB cables. However, I have noticed that my smartphone will actually drain the battery when "charging" if I have WiFi turned on... I guess there's just too much power drain when powering a GSM, bluetooth, and WiFi radio simultaneously.
Portugual had been trying to give Macau back to China since at least the late 1960's, but China didn't want it. Portugual didn't know how to run Macau, and there was rampant corruption.
Post-handover, the economy is booming, there's lots of new development, and the streets are safer. That's pretty important to me.
