just a minor quibble, Macau was still a Portugese possession until 1999. In the T2k timeline the handover would likely never happen (like T2k Hong Kong).
Also interesting to note, Portugual withdrew military troops from Macau in 1974. Portugual may have deployed troops after fighting breaks out along the PRC-Soviet border in 1995. Not sure if Macau had any territorial or reserve military like the Royal Hong Kong Regiment, but I could see them forming some type of reserve type force of Macau part time soldiers.
Maybe this should be in another thread but my assumption is that, in addition to deploying ground troops, the Portugese also deploy air and naval assets to protect the territory as well as sea and air traffic to and from Macau.
