Anyone know the status of the bill offering residency for buying a home here?Nearly half of Chinese millionaires are thinking about leaving the country, while 14% have or are in the process of applying for emigration, according to a Hurun Research Institute and the Bank of China report.
Their joint “Private Banking White Paper 2011” talked to individuals with assets of more than 10 million yuan (US$1.57 million) in18 cities to find out how China’s super rich manage their wealth. The average asset holdings of the 980 surveyed are 60 million yuan (US$9.44 million), with the average age of 42.
Where do China’s millionaires want to move? North America is the top choice. The United States is the most popular immigration destination for Chinese millionaires, attracting 40% of the respondents who are interested in leaving China, followed closely by Canada (37%) followed by Singapore and Europe.
Your housing prices will skyrocket like Australia's.
yeah i'd agree with that. i would say though that america is a slightly different case - less densely urbanised than aus.

1. increased disposable income due to appreciation of AUD against the USD due to a booming economy.
2. Lots and lots of Chinese government officials want to hide their assets from the CCP, so they buy houses here and there are middle men driving up housing prices (eg house is worth 600k, but sold for 1mil due to middle man taking advantage of ignorance of Chinese buyer).
Lots of rich people want to get the fuck out of China, I know a girl whose parents bought her a studio apartment near UNSW (500k) coz shes just studying there Oh and she has her own car as well and getting a new one for her birthday next year.

A lot of the housing bought by CCP members are from bribe money and other "income" they're trying to hide from the government.

So...would they pull their money out of the Chinese real estate market? Because the massive rise in real estate prices there has cause huge problems for people trying to relocate from rural to urban areas (see "ghost towns of China" thread/discussion).
TBH, we could use some foreign capital to help prop up our real estate market in some areas...if it's handled smartly. Last thing we need is another bubble.

Investing real estate is risky in China due to its authoritarian nature, and I do not believe most people can "own" property but can take a 99 year lease from the gov, but irregardless the government can easily seize your property or destroy it if they want to build a factory or a new road over it.

oh yeah the guy who didn't go to the police when he knew children were getting raped is such a great guy because you know football. Fuck him.Hundreds spilled into the streets at Penn State early Thursday morning following news that football head coach Joe Paterno and the school's president were ousted over a child sex abuse scandal at the university.
What started as an apparent celebration of Paterno turned raucous, as the crowd tipped over a news van and decried the media. The university said on its Facebook page that police issued a dispersal order for the Old Main and downtown areas, and "everyone must vacate both areas immediately."
...
The disturbance came shortly after university trustees announced Wednesday night that Paterno, the winningest coach in major college football, and Penn State President Graham Spanier were out of their jobs, effective immediately.
...
The crowd cheered and said, "We love you, Joe."
...
Some had called for Paterno to resign immediately because of his response to allegations brought to him in 2002 by a graduate assistant, who said he had seen retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, now 67, sexually assaulting a young boy in a shower at the campus football complex.

Um OK...Republican candidates said the U.S. must stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, through tougher sanctions, aid to opposition parties, covert action against the country's nuclear scientists, and a military attack as a last resort.
Businessman Herman Cain called for assisting the opposition movement to bring down the regime. As president, Cain said he would "assist the opposition movement in Iran that is trying to overthrow the regime" -- short of providing weapons.
^ Any of these people could be running America, Jesus....Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia advocated "taking out" Iran's nuclear scientists.
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney said he'd order a military strike if nothing else worked.
Erm, not really deniable now mate.Gingrich said he would back "maximum covert operations to block and disrupt the Iranian program, including taking out their scientists, including breaking up their systems, all of it covertly, all of it deniable."
