    Over here foreign investors are banned from buying property, they can only build property. Unless you send your kid to uni here, then it’s all fine apparently

      And if we in the US tried banning foreign investors buying houses we’d be called racists. It needs to be done. I’m tired of not being able to afford anything where I live

        Oh don’t worry we still can’t afford anything. Median house prices are over a million dollars AUD and in terrible condition.

        It sounds like you’re confusing Chinese Americans with non-US Chinese citizens.

        The ban or limits would be on foreign investors, not just Chinese people.

        If you try to ban all people of Chinese descent, yeah that’s actually racist.
