RE:Suggested reading and viewing. With all due respect, I doubt very much that the Chinese are buying up real estate in New York and Boston to escape China's polution--though it may be convenient for some to say so. The wealthy like to bury their money in safer markets and have a foothold in another country in case things get dicey in China. Believe me, their bulldozing huge swaths of Vancouver's heritage neighbourhoods to erect monster palaces has nothing to do with their tender concerns for environment. There are no more private schools placements available for their kids in Vancouver so they are looking elsewhere.
