China’s top representative to Macau and a member of one of the country’s highest bodies has died in an apparent suicide, officials said on Sunday. Only few details were released.<\/p>\n

Zheng Xiaosong, 59, died on Saturday night when he fell from his residence in Macao, according to a statement from the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office. It attributed his death to depression.<\/p>\n

Zheng was appointed as the central government’s top representative to Macau in September 2017. He was also a member of the Communist Party’s Central Committee, which is one of the country’s highest organs.<\/p>\n

Other details about Zheng’s sudden death have not been released.<\/p>\n

Macau and Hong Kong are parts of China but enjoy a high degree of autonomy with their own political and economic systems. Macau is well-known for gambling and its economy is heavily dependent on tourism.<\/p>\n
