Do you have any resources to back up this claim of yours? Statistics or news reports from reputable sources would be great or are you just spewing shit out of your ass?

we did some work for an Asian millionaire a few months ago. he only paid half his bill. not worth our time to go to court over a couple grand.

now I know why he's a successful business man... by not paying for anything.

we have a new policy. no Asian clients... unless we already know who they are and how they act.

yes there are ppl who evade tax and use fraud as a source of getting rich. But don't generalize it upon the majority. Lots of Chinese are rich these years because of the huge boom in china's economy in the past 10-20 years. Being in the right place at the right time + the I don't give a shit about my health mentality and drive to earn money the Chinese have, you'd ought to have a few millionaires. This doesn't mean everyone's money is dirty. Being a millionaire is nothing in china these days, most people are valued in the billions. Besides, even if they do get rich from evicting tax/cheating the system, they're smarter and more ballsy than the majority of the public. Fraud in china is mainly targeted towards the government/official state, and it's not exactly a cake walk to steal money from a communist government like China.

In the next 10 years, you'll see another rise in our real estate from the influx of Indian real estate investors as India is in the same economic state China was 10 years ago. If you can't keep up with the changing world and competitive market as the 3rd world countries become rich, then move to Kamloops and enjoy your $30k salary and $200,000 houses. Just because you were born in the white house it doesn't mean you'll be president.

Now do you guys understand how the Native Indians felt 200 years ago?

i dont think thats exactly what he means
but as an asian, i'm not particularly inclined to do business with mainlanders either... their whole mentality of how things work and the system of bartering n such they have over there just creates headaches when they bring it over here... something i'd prefer to avoid

Do the background check, ask for a deposit, LoC, and Negotiate like you are running a business.

how's that hard?

Now I know why you will not be a successful business man. Probably one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. Not sure what kind of business your involved in but just because you dont know how to deal with asians probably means you should learn. Also grouping "asians" into one big group is also quite stupid. Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc. all do business in different ways.

Didn't we ask for this? I'm pretty sure optimists were hoping the 2010 olympics would put us on the map harder than expo 86 did. I remember seeing a few news clips that the cost of the olympics can be considered an investment, as it stimulates our local economy in the short term (construction) and long-term (population increase).

There's an easy answer to drop housing prices: increase development/density. One thing for sure is traffics going to get fucked.

Actually, you're wrong.

So many of you guys in this thread give out news and stats without any actual facts or sources to back it up. You guys are like Fox News.

Richmond's Chinese population is at roughly 43%, and 26.8% of that are immigrants from Mainland China while 23% are from HKSAR.

Richmond's total immigrants equal to 57.4% of the population, highest in any city of Canada.

Why dont you get the payment upfront, instead of losing like 30% of the population. Anyways, one asian person does not represent the other 1 billion.

I am sorry, but this has to be the stupidest post in the thread...if you are being serious, and I have no reason to think you are not; do you honestly think an arranged homestay for a single student is making it possible for people to live in their dream neighborhoods?

I guess if you took that $200 a week, let them eat dirt from the backyard instead of food, and used that $200 to hire a bad ass Dominican pimp from the DTES to get your student making some real money; AND he doesn't cut you up in the process. Yes, it could be possible. Otherwise, try again.

On another note;

Brazil is next in line on the global stage after India. So someday soon we might have helicopters full of g-string wearing booty calls flying over here with their checkbooks in hand.

Dare to dream!
