In 2014，social uses of new media in Macao society presented new characteristics，making Macao a highly advanced network society. New media use of Macao residents evidently functioned to facilitate their knowledge and participation of social movements. The new media-mobilized social movements，such as the “5.25 Anti-Retirement Subsidies Movement”，reflected the influence social media effected in public opinion and the power it generated in social mobilization. The traditional political communication model，which had been set within the principal framework of association politics，was greatly impacted，and exhibited a lack of network political communication. In the year 2015，the newly-sworn-in Macao government will make on the list of its major priorities the construction of a new model of political communication. The support of the Central Government and the development of Hong Kong-Macao-Zhuhai integration will also contribute to an environment for more open，transparent and participatory model of political communication. However，local tensions and external influence still exist，which will pose serious challenges to political communication，particularly network political communication. The contention among mainstream media and new media in influencing public opinion will continue，so the prospect of political communication which strives for consensus will not come easy.
