This is the reason why I don't believe that China will become the next hegemon. People happily play the capitalist game as long as they are confident that they can cash their chips in for currency of the western countries and actually purchase assets in those nations.

Can you imagine middle class Westerners clamouring to buy assets in Beijing? And actually moving there in large numbers to live?

Is it even possible?
Probably not - But all other things being equal (which they simply aren't, I'd personally move to Russia on the drop of a hat [if my personal family circumstances didn't just make leaving Oz the total no go that it is at this time]) - Not that the Russkies would have me long term anyway; Unless I married one of their sheilas (or had rather more loot than I do) ... 'N I just simply don't wanna get married ta no-one ... :)

Yes Herbs and even the 15% tax on these 'investors' does'nt seem to be stopping them. :?:
When you have insatiable buyer demand, nothing can stop it.

I'd be doing the same myself if I was them (and could) with their likely(?) 'collective national recollection' of their still reasonably recent history bloke:

Yep, I'd be looking for a 'bolthole' alright - 'Just in case' as they say.
What do you reckon 60 million scalps? made Stalin appear a bit soft.

Chinese military strategy is defensive, its economic strategy is expansive, I get your point but I dont see it coming into play.

China is nothing compared to Africa or India, that is what you call population growth. And why not breed after so many years of not being able to?

Good idea why reward these birds with many kids as it only increases the social problems caused by chronic welfare dependency that rewards them for producing millions of future unemployed criminals. Only in the west eh?

Cashed up high net worth Canadians reinvest their investment gains back into the land.

Well-to-do investors plow cash into Canadian farmland

After years of hard work, you've sold your business and are looking to invest for the long term. You have a solid portfolio of stocks and bonds, but you'd like to add something a little different.

Perhaps you've dreamed of being a gentleman farmer, or you just like real estate. Either way, consider farmland.

It's not without risk – and you likely won't be able to ride a tractor and get your hands dirty – but farmland has proved to be an appealing portfolio diversifier over the years.

"When we get calls from investors, they are looking for diversification and stability," says Joelle Faulkner, chief executive officer of Area One Farms, a Toronto-based private equity firm. "A pretty significant number of them have run their own business and understand the value of having a local partner."

They also understand land. "They're people who like real estate."

Over the past 50 years, farmland has risen in value by 7 per cent a year on average, says Ms. Faulkner, a lawyer and engineer who co-founded Area One Farms with her brother Benji Faulkner in 2012. Area One Farms uses a partnership model in which investors and farmers both put up money to acquire properties in which they will be co-owners. At the end of 10 years, the properties are sold, ideally to the farmers, investors are paid out and the fund is wound up.

While Area One Farms has no partnerships open to investors at the moment, it "likely" will start another fund next year, Ms. Faulkner says. Participation is limited to institutional investors and high-net-worth accredited investors – people with substantial income and assets. Rules vary from province to province.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis.
