It isn’t. Free countries don’t enforce the laws of oppressive regimes for them.

Diversifying your net worth internationally to create an insurance policy against worse oppression by your regime is a first step towards fleeing.

That’s illegal in both countries. Are these money launderers being extradited back to China for transferring their own funds to Canada, like an embezzler would? No, because that’s not illegal in free countries.

From your link: “(a) the commission in Canada of a designated offence; or (b) an act or omission anywhere that, if it had occurred in Canada, would have constituted a designated offence.” I wasn’t aware Canada had a $50,000 limit on moving

Of course you do. Would you spend a hundred thousand on a custom buildout for a $1M lease if there was a significant risk the tenant would stop paying only a fraction of the way into the lease? Things get a lot easier if you can take the sp

Straw buyers exist, not denying it. Straw buyers who are entirely price insensitive may exist, but are so rare as to be unicorns. If you are actually “laundering” money, ie from a crime other than fleeing oppression, the cost of laundering

I know Louis Rossman has posited that landlords are handcuffed by mortgages that require additional capital calls when rental rates decline. That may be a factor but it’s not the primary cause. This has been going on forever because commerc

Because they aren’t violating Canadian laws. They are evading onerous Chinese capital controls instituted by an oppressive regime.

That’s just a silly premise. Vacancies are because landlords are seeking long term tenants, and the discounting is done in negotiations behind the scene. Just because you don’t want Ed’s Thrift shop in your retail space on a cut rate month

No one is saying Giuliani doesn’t have a real laptop. Just that there is no proof it belonged to Hunter Biden. What evidence is there that Hunter’s lawyer called the shop? And the Biden campaign doesn’t have to deny anything, there is no d

You are correct. I was wrong in using Wall Street as a generic term for investment bankers when this is a record and ground breaking offering on Shanghai and Hong Kong exchanges. Still it’s being priced by Chinese bankers at such a ridiculo

If they had Hunters contact info, why doesn’t Hunter have his computers? Who abandons thousands of dollars worth of computers over an $85 Bill? And what a coincidence that the shop owner was a huge and active Trump supporter. Sure I’ll tak
