This is happening in Australia too.

There are new apartment buildings going up by Chinese property developers aimed squarely at the growing Chinese population.

As a matter of fact, construction management university students are told to study Chinese language and culture to help them get jobs after uni

I'm from Canada (Whistler, north of Vancouver) and now live in Sydney, Australia.

Australia is nowhere near as bad as Canada. I'm amazed this article glanced over the issues Vancouver is really struggling with.

I believe the housing market in Sydney will come into trouble, but Canada is in for a very rude awakening.

I'll post another comment re:these serious issues canada faces.
