Actually, Sydney has been the new Vancouver for quite some time now.

Significant Chinese immigration to Sydney started in the 1840s and to Vancouver in the 1850s. While you're technically correct, I would call that contemporaneous. :)

I thought Vancouver was the new Sydney/Melbourne, with the capital influx to Vancouver spurred in part by Australian government controls on foreign home buying.

Yep, our housing affordability is pretty much hosed because of it.
