The agreement needs to be reciprocal. China should have to jump through the same hoops if it wants to do business in the US, UK, Australia, etc And not just for doing business either, things like home ownership too. If I cannot buy a house in China (not that I'd want to pay for a Chinese house that'll last 5 years max) because I'm not Chinese then they should not be allowed buy in my country either. Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney... all have property markets destroyed by Chinese funny money. It has to stop, but it won't due to greed. Trump is right about China (I'm not American, don't live or work in America, and have never, or could ever, vote in an American election. Take your faux outrage elsewhere)

  Disapproval of China is strong across the political spectrum.

I don’t think people’s outrage about political topics is fake. If I came out I strong support the Uyghurs re-education camps, would those outraged by that be faking it simply because I have zero influence in the CCP?

this is not a issue with Chinese buyers, this is a issue with existing land owner, who would do everything to imcrease sell price. Don't say somehow it's the buyers fault. Foreign buyers don't vote in election. it's the vote and money of property owners that allowed those purchase of land with no real purpose other than investment.

  My post didn't blame them entirely. They have funds they need to get out of China so they buy property abroad. Having a child who is studying abroad is one of those ways. There's little intention to actually live there, let alone integrate with the community. The big question is how those funds were obtained. How can locals compete with buyers who can essentially print money? Funny money. Chinese banks are unauditable.

    Your last paragraph can't be serious. Are you suggesting somehow China can print dollars? US lands are of course bought with US dollar, which reasonably assumed, only the Fed can print.

      They don't print physical dollars, but they can export their Chinese 'wealth' abroad through shady schemes. As for printing US dollars, North Korea is suspected of doing so: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdollar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdollar
