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.

Agreed!
Additionally, when people post things like "China owns Vancouver" or "Foreigners own the majority of real estate in Vancouver", it shows you how misguided Canadians are on this.
