Parts of Orange County are like Beijing and shit now.. and they flock to their restaurants in exotic cars like Mercedes aren’t even worth shit to them.The Chinese are taking over parts of California as well an influx of them moving here.
The Chinese will also own the UFC ina few years, UFC will sell to a rich China man.

This is a large portion of Orange County in SoCal as well. Chinese buyers paying cash and developers catering to Chinese cultural norms while building.According to news,
local Australians are now having a hard time purchasing a house becausethe real estate brokers priority are the Chinese and not the locals.

My neighborhood in Anaheim has Koreans. Their like 3 Korean churches near where I live. One is so big they have to do traffic control and they even bus people that park in a far away parking lots. Growing up in the OC. The only Asians you saw was Vietnamese with some Cambodians or Loatias.
I was speaking of the premium detached house prices on the west side of Vancouver and that is where a lot of the foreign money went to. Your right in the past two years the condo market is exploding and that is mostly because of local money. Locals cant afford a 1.6 million old house but they can afford to get a 600 to 800k condo. If this market ever cools a lot of people might be underwater for a long time but this market hasnt cooled in 17 years.My friend put his 1 bedroom condo on the market for $800k just to see what would happen. He bought it for about $400k 4 years ago and it's worth maybe $600k now at the very most. He sold it within a week for asking price.
This is understandable but I blame the government to an extent for allowing the housing bubble. They doth protest that housing is becoming unaffordable for the plebes, but they like that property tax revenue.Ironically a lot of the reason for the massive property investment is that a lot of Chinese fear there going to fall victim to some form of political in fighting or corruption. Many successful business people depend very heavily on family connections of the CCP and shifts in power there can have a big effect on the way they might be treated.
Getting wealth out of China into the west where its less likely to be confiscated is often the aim.
