China has appointed a slate of new officials to head the world's top gambling hub of Macau, changing key roles including the city's economy and justice secretaries. The appointments in Macau, a special administrative region of China, come as the city's casino industry is experiencing tumbling revenues and ahead of an expected visit by President Xi Jinping this month to mark 20 years of Chinese rule. Macau, which neighbours China's other special administrative region, Hong Kong, announced the changes on a government website late on Sunday.
