I said it in another thread, but this is very reminiscent of the UK in the mid-90s early 2000s with the Russian Oligarchs.

Once they had consolidated their wealth and power after the fall of the Soviet Union they had to stash money and assets somewhere where a tumultuous and corrupt Government couldnt nab it and where it could be legitimized for later use.

The Chinese are doing the same thing in Canada. Theres a very standard Playbook for this kind of thing.

They're playing our system like a Casino game. Amounting and storing huge amounts of wealth and assets while collecting low-income benefits and availing themselves of subsidized Education and acquiring citizenship for later use.
