The Treasury Department declined to comment, but the senior official dismissed the talk of White House-Treasury battles as "stupid."

Over the past few months, Beijing has imposed stricter visa restrictions to cut down on the frequency that mainland Chinese can visit the former Portuguese colony. As a result, gaming revenues dropped by 10% in the third quarter compared to the previous quarter - the second consecutive quarter to post a decline.
