Abstract Edna Bonacich’s split labour market states that socio-political factors generate differential outcomes for workers in a region, generally as the result of ethnic antagonism. This antagonism, Bonacich argues, does not require open violence or even verbal confrontation but can operate through exclusion movements and “caste” systems. In this paper, we use framework to analyse production Macao, Special Administrative Region China. Macao depends on an abundant supply low-skilled migrant remunerate workforce. While many are foreigners, most ‘internal’ migrants from Mainland China, meaning conventional explanation differences is insufficient. had observed “exclusion attempts caste-like arrangements found among national groupings within racial category” giving example ‘whites’ United States excluding other different parts Europe.

Moreover, local act aristocracy: they extract concessions businesses suppress economically, politically socially. helps explain aristocracy maintained subtly at interest businesses.
