The UM Mandarin Debating Team delivered an outstanding performance in the Mandarin division of the “2025 ‘Courtesy Charter’ – ‘Respect Life, Protect the Environment’ Youth Debating Competition,” winning the championship and showcasing UM students’ excellence in critical thinking, eloquence, and public-issue analysis.

The Mandarin division competition was held on 16 November at the Cultural Centre of the City University of Macau. UM faced City University of Macau in the first round, debating the motion “Whether the government should / should not use taxation as the primary means to address environmental issues.” Both teams engaged in a fierce and well-reasoned exchange. UM ultimately won with a unanimous 5–0 victory. UM’s third speaker, Ip Tsz Hin, was further recognized as the “Best Debater” of the round for her composure and clear analytical responses.
According to the competition rules, the champion, first runner-up, and second runner-up of the Mandarin division are determined by the total score of all winning teams. Among all teams that won their matches, UM achieved the highest overall score and was therefore awarded the Mandarin Division Championship.
The competition was organized by the Municipal Affairs Bureau, co-organized by the Student Union of the City University of Macau, and executed by the Macao Oratory Culture Association. The event aims to provide a platform for local youth to exchange ideas through debate, explore themes such as “respecting life” and “environmental protection”, enhance logical thinking and language expression, promote civic awareness and engagement with public policy issues, and encourage the inheritance of courteous cultural values.
UM’s victory once again highlights the university’s leading position in Macau’s debating community and contributes to the promotion of youth critical-thinking education and public-issue discussion.
