Macau is a place inside China that a contract can name on its own. A contract made at the door can name it as its governing law. You choose it once, from one chip. The paper then prints that name where the clause goes.

Naming it in a contract
A contract usually names the body of law its words are read under. That line is the governing-law clause. It is commonly one sentence, near the end.
Where a dispute would be heard is a separate question. It is usually a clause of its own, and the two are decided separately. Some papers name more than one place, in different clauses.
The place is printed exactly as the picker names it. Here that is “Macau”. Nothing on this page is an opinion about what any law requires.
What the door does with it
At the door you describe the deal in one sentence. Governing law sits beside the field as a chip. Press the chip and the picker opens.
Macau is under Asia and the Pacific in the picker. Typing part of the name finds it. Pick it and the chip says Macau. The paper prints the same name in its governing-law clause.
