I believe these are money laundering schemes, somehow. There are corrupt Chinese who need top move their money out of China.

I have read elsewhere of the reasons being money laundering. I also read of accounts of even quite expensive rentals being sought after without success for two years in Vancouver. This by ordinary Canadians. A whole row of apartments left empty, standing in some areas.

I confess have little knowledge of just how this benefits the Chinese. I know this where I live in Ontario. If one leaves a house empty for some time and it is vandalised, it is a financial disaster.
