Chinese buying houses in US

Why are the Chinese buying up U.S. real estate?

Because they have money in their wallets, an appetite for the good life, and golden ants in their pants.

Without question, the Chinese are the largest international players here in the U.S. housing market. In fact, according to Karen Yan of JinList, Chinese purchases of U.S. residential properties will reach $32 billion ending in March 2015.

Ezra Haganez
KOTA KINABALU :    Sabah opposition lawmaker, Jeffrey Kitingan, has questioned Malaysia's double-standard treatment on calls for Sabah and Sarawak seceeding as seditious when the country allowed Singapore to secede from the Federation in 1965.

“Leaders from Malaya and their Sabah representatives should stop making an excuse of making calls for secession as seditious or against the Constitution to prevent Sabah and Sarawak from leaving the Federation of Malaysia.   Instead of following the Umno BN dictatorial regime, a diplomatic and consultative approach would be a better option to persuade Sabahans and Sarawakians to remain in the Federation” said Kitingan.
