This is indisputable. To ask for numbers at this point is pure sophistry.

I agree with your point, but the racist statements are made without any education on the issue as well.
Misguided blanket statements about all Chinese people doesn't help deal with the "criminal interests from Mainland China" you're referring to.
I've been dealing with this discussion every day for years, and it's shocking how many people use immigrants/foreigners interchangeably, assume every Chinese immigrant is a multi millionaire and completely exaggerate the proportion of foreign buying without any evidence to back it up.
The dialogue around the issue has become very Brexit like at this point; spurred on by sensational headlines and very polarizing.
Not a productive way to make meaningful changes and impact the actual issues.
