Q: Capital gains tax to be introduced by Chinese government on FOREIGN property ownership

This is an interesting issue for me. Since the anti-corruption crackdown, hordes of corrupt officials and their proxies have been laundering money into housing markets in communities where they could never dream of working in.

 

It seems the taps are being turned off, and in fact some investments made in Melbourne and Sydney are finally generating a negative return.

 

Many people in western countries seem to have become addicted to the influx of Chinese "investment" into their countries and this has actually resulted in price distortions and asset stripping, but most of the beneficiaries of this have either dissuaded the general public from what they're able to see with their own eyes by chastizing us with economic jargon, or they're too inculcated with neo-classical economic theory to be able to see what us laymen can see.

 

One of the reasons I tolerated the idiocy prevalent in daily and professional life here in China is that I can save much more and these savings are necessary because the house prices in my country have been inflated by absconding kleptocrats from this very country.

 

Are you, like me, an economic refugee waiting for the tyrant to get a bullet between his eyes? Will western property prices correct and will the Chinese finally take their hot money out of the markets back home and incinerate it like the French did to their assignats? Should we be glad the current administration is taking care of this problem?

 

Have away. I love to talk about these issues. Housing costs, investment, long term trends. It's all good fun.

this will only work if such properties are officially reported.

loudvillager:

I'm pretty sure it will only be the people from Jiang's faction who will have their properties targeted. Once the presidency changes then whoever's in power at that time will go after the next group's ill-gotten gains.

 

The best thing you can do is what they do here. Take photos of all the new sales and post them on wechat. If it's not and official but an official's proxy then try to prove this is the case somehow.

 

Regardless, it looks like they're not making money on these developments anymore. I hope this is just like Nicaragua when that OCD billionaire idiot was about to build a canal until almost all of his wealth was eroded when his lima bean future stocks evaporated when the Shanghai index crashed.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
