Topic: Chinese OffShore Investing (Read 485 times)

The Americans are not getting this money for free and the Chinese are not that stupid to threw their spare change to the Americans. They are purchasing property and other assets. Obviously, if you are purchasing something, then you have to make a payment. My question is what will happen once the Chinese mop up most of the properties? What would be left for the Americans to sell? Their kidneys?

Looks like east asia and USA will get some good money from the chinese that are escaping communist tyrrany and capital controls.

Good for them, i hope they buy bitcoins too.

Well you can believe what you want, I know you have some different views but if you lived in a area effected by them you would see it differently.

We have real estate agents on our door step once a week. Mail from 3-4 of them a day and all the mail is in English/Chinese.
We have blocks where 3 people live and the rest are empty falling apart neglected. Talking about million dollar houses. Apartments where there is less than 40% of people living. It has pushed the young and old a like out of the city because their is no where affordable to live.
Now they are buying up industrial and warehouses.
So companies will be run out next.
We are called Hongcover for a reason.

The money is brought in through lawyers and other funky ways...Just google Vancouver B.C (Canada) real estate bubble.
They say the next generations will have no chance of owning a home.

So back to the corrupt aspect.
Homes go online in our hot market 24 hours earlier in China. They sometimes out bid by half a million because they can flip it a couple months later.
We had a building bought by a fake company last week to be flipped for 18 more million in a week.

We are in the extreme here but they have done this all over.

Look at how pissed a lot of the coastal African Countries are with them stripping them of their resources.

Economic warfare.

The refusal to sell to the Chinese-based Dakang Australia Holdings and Australian-listed company Australian Rural Capital is only a preliminary decision

This isn't money laundering at all. Just sound investment in foreign countries. There's nothing wrong, nor does it hides anything. Why? I see it as very normal that when you're successful in your home country, you try to widen your horizon, and look at other countries for growth.

A unit of Chinese conglomerate HNA Group has agreed to buy Carlson Hotels, which owns brands including Radisson and Country Inns and Suites, the latest in a flurry of overseas investments by Chinese companies.

HNA Tourism Group will acquire all of Carlson Hotels Inc., the companies said in a joint statement released late Wednesday that did not disclose the purchase price.

They said that Carlson's headquarters would remain in Minnetonka, Minn., after the deal is completed.

HNA Tourism Chairman Bai Haibo said buying Carlson Hotels will help the Chinese company "establish our presence in the U.S. market and expand our footprint in hospitality internationally."

He added that HNA would "accelerate growth by investing substantially in the business."

The purchase is the latest in a string of global transactions by Chinese companies as they diversify abroad to counter slowing growth at home while also scooping up foreign expertise and technology.

Other deals this year include Haier Group's acquisition of General Electric's home appliance business, conglomerate Wanda Group's purchase of Hollywood studio Legendary Entertainment, and state-owned ChemChina's mammoth $43 billion bid for Swiss pesticide maker Syngenta. It also comes weeks after China's Anbang Insurance Group was thwarted by Marriott International in its attempt to acquire Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.

As part of the deal, the Chinese company will also acquire a 51.3 percent stake in Brussels-based Rezidor Hotel Group AB, which operates Carlson hotels in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

Under Swedish takeover rules, HNA is required to either buy the remaining shares of Rezidor it doesn't own or sell its stake down to 30 percent.

Carlson has 1,400 hotels in 115 countries and territories and employs about 90,000 staff worldwide.

HNA Group, based in southern Hainan province, operates hotels, airlines, airports and financial services and real estate businesses.

The deal is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2016.
