Wow. Weaponized foreign ownership. Very hostile. Australia should put arrest warrant on his head, and repatriate / nationalize Red Chinese public health assets.
They won’t, instead they will pay the ransom and throw in a blow job and all the weapons they have confiscated. Australia can’t wake up, the are too progressive
a backlash is coming against the chinese gov't from around the world. people need a focus for their anger over all of this...the illnesses, the deaths, the destruction of economies, jobs and lives. the lost moments that will never happen again. (even tho' i never had children, my heart aches for all of our seniors; these months of college acceptances, awards ceremonies, proms and graduations were rites of passage and these kids had that stolen from them).
Not to mention condos. You go downtown, you'll see condominium buildings with maybe one light on per floor. We have a homeless problem, but we have buildings that are nearly entirely foreign-owned and that almost nobody lives in.
I used to work for the most successful property purchase group in Canada. The entire staff but the head was Chinese. 100% of the clients were Chinese. They were buying EVERYTHING, not just condos. Wineries, mines, farms, etc. Everything with a property.
As much as one-third of all Canadian property is now Chinese owned and none of the citizens living there have a fucking idea.
Many wealthy Chinese want to expatriate their capital out of China. Turns out even they don’t like communism. It’s an investment vehicle to get money out of China. Problem is that it distorts our markets, and the CCP can claim ownership at any time (because no private property for Chinese citizen)
Imagine going around putting up a small "Owned by China" sign... nothing else on it, just pointing out the thing you aren't supposed to notice. The screeching would be INTENSE.
The entire US realty industry has been compicit in this widespread disenfranchisement of the average citizen from access to decent, non-bubble housing. The Chinese buy single family homes, condos, and rent them out by the bedroom to stressed out, broke, US citizens.
One of the reasons CA home prices have skyrocketed, and even rode out 2008 fairly well, is that uber wealthy Chinese are buying houses as investment instruments in the attempt to hold off loses due to inflation.
Yup, houses are being bought by Chinese we can tell by the addresses used to purchase. These are just lying empty, nice houses in nice neighborhoods too. I think the master plan is to run up the value (mainly due to supply shortages) and sell it back to us at rediculously high prices.
Whoever this guy is has a fucking death wish (financially). For some reason he views himself as having leverage in this situation, which nothing could be further from the truth. Just shut up and enjoy the increased revenue, dumbass. Instead he'll be political target number one.
Any Chinese National is required to be an agent of the Chinese Communist Party, if called upon by the state. He doesn’t give a shit about the money. He’s being used as a weapon
Just let a foreign national hold your emergency facilities hostage so no one cries about communism.
You might want to look up how our interstate highway system came to be. Or for that matter most 9f our military facilities.
Point is there are specific situations that require this sort of thing. Perhaps this is one of them.
As economies go to shit around the world. You are going to see more of this.
China is setting up to buy everything around the world. Since governments are going heavy as fuck on spending. Government assets are going to be up for grabs.
More like CCP. I don't necessarily hate the Chinese people although decades under ccp has made them rather detestable but look at Taiwan for what China could have been.
Lets introduce laws to stop selling property to foreign investors. We need to bring back affordable and reasonable housing back to Americans.
Like out of state college tuition scheme, these foreign millionaire/billionaire dopes need to pay 2x plus and 20% annual property taxes to help America.
There are several countries who do exactly that. Why America, the country on the frontlines against some of the most authoritarian regimes in the world, doesn't do that is beyond me.
One, you cannot ever truly own property in China whether you’re a foreigner a local. Every plot of land is technically owned by the state and can only be bought on a leasehold basis for up to 70 years.
This makes Chinese real estate a depreciating asset. If you (or any heirs) had to sell a house 50 years after buying it, the fact that just 20 years are remaining on your land use right would be reflected in the sales value.
Not only that, but foreign property buyers in China are severely restricted by law. Perhaps the worst limitation is that you must have already worked or studied abroad in China for one year and possess a long-term visa before buying real estate.
if its foreign owned, yes. Why not? Even if we have to give'em whatever the lowest price is on the market for the property and then let them fuck off and then make it illegal for non citizens to buy any kind of life saving infrastructure.
Meanwhile, in America we're making sure sub-humans like this guy can have their women give birth to their spawn on our soil to take advantage of our retarded anchor baby laws and then skirt any kind of laws limiting foreigners in our marketplace. No way that could ever backfire on us, right?
I hate to suggest it, but it may be time for countries to seize all chinese nationals business and prooerties. Let them complain to their communist overlords back home lol.
The current situation really warrants a widespread global disenfranchisement of Chinese by confiscation, walling off. If all countries react at once to their encroachments, they will not be able to enforce their interests in non-Chinese nations. Cancel belt and road, tell China to eat their loans and their lies.
Seize them back. He seems to like living in a country that does that kind of thing anyway.
No more foreign property investment, at least not from totalitarian countries and definitely not in important infrastructure. That's as true for Australia as it is for the US.
Does anyone else entertain the theory that these "chinese billionaires" have no real money and have not built a thing?
The government just knows you will be more accepting of a billionaire buying assets than you would having a communist government draining a few billion chinese of their productivity and using it to buy your country.
This is an example of big government shutting down elective surgury, therefore, private hospitals are unable to sustain themselves and letting go staff. Hospitals are threatening to close, not the chinese billionaire. Although he is an easy target.
The important thing to remember is every Chinese purchase is a purchase by the Chinese government. In COMMUNIST china, the only way to be a billionaire is legally is to be in bed with the government. The story really says "The Chinese government is closing Aussie hospitals to extort the Aussies for more money".
Just...Wow. Unbelievable. The story remains the same, the rich get richer and the poor have to fend for themselves. Government does nothing good for its people.
Yeah i've been supportive of capitalism and libertarianism, but only as an economic system within the confines of our border. Letting a communist entity buy up our countries is ridiculous.
Just kick him out. Literally just tell him to fuck off and ban him from ever entering the country. He's a foreign national who is holding your hospitals hostage.
Go ahead, close them. Then the government seizes them eminent domain, pays one red cent compensation, and leaves them open. You can auction them off to Australians later.
Take every asset of every Chinese national in the country. Give them nothing.
Frankly, I don't think the Chinese guy is in the wrong. How long is he supposed to bleed out due to indefinite CV response measures? His play ensured that hospitals stay open and it remains economically viable.
Wow. Weaponized foreign ownership. Very hostile. Australia should put arrest warrant on his head, and repatriate / nationalize Red Chinese public health assets.
They won’t, instead they will pay the ransom and throw in a blow job and all the weapons they have confiscated. Australia can’t wake up, the are too progressive
Progressing off a cliff. Like demons in the swine.
"For you wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities."
It will be interesting watching the recap if Legion really is behind communism.
Aussies used to be the rednecks of the South Pacific--and I liked it that way. What the fuck happened to Crocodile Dundee!?
Immigration.
They lost their Aussie pride ever since they got lost the Emu War.
Crocodile Dundee got soy'd. But, it's like okay, cuz they still call everyone a cunt, hmm? ;-)
And then make worry faces for the world to see, how it's Trump's fault.
Literally the only time I will say this: nationalize everything owned by a Chinese individual not born stateside.
As much as I would never accept government expansion, this is a matter of national security.
The correct course of action is to Nationalize and then immediately auction off back to the private sector.
natiionalize chinese national owned assets, then auction them off
No LLC ownership of single family housing!
China bought the port of Long Beach. When Trump took over he made them sell it back because it is a national security issue.
https://www.universalcargo.com/u-s-forces-china-out-of-port-of-long-beach-terminal-ownership/
I had heard about China buying the port, and didn't know Trump did that. Awesome!
I could not believe how my country was parted out to China before we even knew it. Bush 1, Clinton<----Commie Traitor, Bush, 0bama did this to us.
a backlash is coming against the chinese gov't from around the world. people need a focus for their anger over all of this...the illnesses, the deaths, the destruction of economies, jobs and lives. the lost moments that will never happen again. (even tho' i never had children, my heart aches for all of our seniors; these months of college acceptances, awards ceremonies, proms and graduations were rites of passage and these kids had that stolen from them).
Totally with you on that!
Also: 1. uncouple our economies. 2. Repudiate our debt. 3) Declare China an enemy state. 4) Seize their assets.
No more playing nice with Evil!
They need to seize the property, reopen and then it to auction to Australian owners only.
America should follow suit - this is straight up war.
Chinese investors own half the bloody country.
Not to mention condos. You go downtown, you'll see condominium buildings with maybe one light on per floor. We have a homeless problem, but we have buildings that are nearly entirely foreign-owned and that almost nobody lives in.

Holy fuck
And you worked there? Did it make you feel bad that you were helping China to do this?
They were the client of the company I was working for. I didn't get to choose which clients we took on.
One of the reasons CA home prices have skyrocketed, and even rode out 2008 fairly well, is that uber wealthy Chinese are buying houses as investment instruments in the attempt to hold off loses due to inflation.

End foriegn ownership of U.S. housing!
It is the same in NYC. To correct this, will require most US homeowners to end up underwater by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Bought with money stole from the American middle class
A gift, not from We The People, but from US POTUS from 41- 44 in collusion with literally every "American" multinational corporation!
I believe they call emminent domain "compulsory acquisition" in Australia. I'll get the popcorn.
Whoever this guy is has a fucking death wish (financially). For some reason he views himself as having leverage in this situation, which nothing could be further from the truth. Just shut up and enjoy the increased revenue, dumbass. Instead he'll be political target number one.

This. Basically a pawn for the ccp
I'd seize all his assets in Austrialia as well.
China is Asshoe.™
Take them back, compensate him with a boot up his ass. Easy play.
Just confiscate them and nationalize them... like any communist coutry would do.
Just let a foreign national hold your emergency facilities hostage so no one cries about communism. You might want to look up how our interstate highway system came to be. Or for that matter most 9f our military facilities.
Point is there are specific situations that require this sort of thing. Perhaps this is one of them.
If you don’t let the foreign communists buy your hospitals and blackmail you with them during a pandemic, then the communists win!
As economies go to shit around the world. You are going to see more of this.
China is setting up to buy everything around the world. Since governments are going heavy as fuck on spending. Government assets are going to be up for grabs.
Kind of like it was all planned out beforehand.
China has to be punished hard for this, so hard that such a plan would be impossible.
Just do what China does....confiscate the property
...and disappear him.
Seriously. It would be so easy and it would fuck them over royally.
China is a wartime enemy. Fuck them.
Nobody in China makes that kind of money without total fealty to the CCP, nobody. Out with all of them.
Are you saying the CCP is one actually shutting down the Australian hospitals? (Yes)
Bingo
China sure makes it easy to hate them.
I do.
More like CCP. I don't necessarily hate the Chinese people although decades under ccp has made them rather detestable but look at Taiwan for what China could have been.
WTF Australia why would you sell off your hospitals before doing something like eliminating foreign aid spending and refusing eco migrants?
Lets introduce laws to stop selling property to foreign investors. We need to bring back affordable and reasonable housing back to Americans.
Like out of state college tuition scheme, these foreign millionaire/billionaire dopes need to pay 2x plus and 20% annual property taxes to help America.
Corruption and fraud all around.
There are several countries who do exactly that. Why America, the country on the frontlines against some of the most authoritarian regimes in the world, doesn't do that is beyond me.
China does it, they don't allow foreign ownership of property. You can lease property long term, but you don't truly own it.
https://www.investasian.com/2018/11/14/buying-property-china/
I'm sure it has to do with encouraging foreign investment in our economy, though I'd say the cons outweigh the pros when it comes to housing.
I dont care for government take over of private enterprise but I think it is warranted in this case.
if its foreign owned, yes. Why not? Even if we have to give'em whatever the lowest price is on the market for the property and then let them fuck off and then make it illegal for non citizens to buy any kind of life saving infrastructure.
Meanwhile, in America we're making sure sub-humans like this guy can have their women give birth to their spawn on our soil to take advantage of our retarded anchor baby laws and then skirt any kind of laws limiting foreigners in our marketplace. No way that could ever backfire on us, right?
Socialist medicine, folks.
Fuck him. Take em back. See what his ass does.
If you read the twitter comments. (don't, not worth it). There was only one comment that was worthy.
"We should shoot him in the town square"
I hate to suggest it, but it may be time for countries to seize all chinese nationals business and prooerties. Let them complain to their communist overlords back home lol.

My prayer for America is that we will finally treat China as the enemy at the gate - because that's exactly what it is.
I swear, I'll do without before I spend one more thin dime on anything Chinese.
Not one. more. dime.
Can stop pushing fake news?

This is an example of big government shutting down elective surgury, therefore, private hospitals are unable to sustain themselves and letting go staff. Hospitals are threatening to close, not the chinese billionaire. Although he is an easy target.
Does Australia have defense authorization like Trump just slapped on GM? Sieze em and tell that billionaire to suck a lemon.

Predictable
Just kick him out. Literally just tell him to fuck off and ban him from ever entering the country. He's a foreign national who is holding your hospitals hostage.
Also 34 hospitals for only 900 million dollar?
It's like a bargain basement sale in the west.
Sing with me folks (In the key of Sugar Ray)
All around the world people stop and they see, That China is ass hoe.
Go ahead, close them. Then the government seizes them eminent domain, pays one red cent compensation, and leaves them open. You can auction them off to Australians later.
Take every asset of every Chinese national in the country. Give them nothing.
Nationalize them. Works for the communists.
Anyone else wish they'd try that here?
Did you hear the one about the 34 Australian hospitals that got nationalized?
Fucking war.
This is what China wants.
Chinese can get five years in jail for sending shit home here now after they started buying every thing of the shelf’s
The Australian Government to file Eminent Domain on these properties and Boom the MF'ah.
The funny part if China would seize the company and even arrest the billionaire they wouldn't give a fuck.
I'd love to see them try this with our President!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Serves you right!!! This is what happens when you suck Chinese cock and let them walk all over you. Reap what you sow.
Let him shut them down and nationalize them for the emergency.
Frankly, I don't think the Chinese guy is in the wrong. How long is he supposed to bleed out due to indefinite CV response measures? His play ensured that hospitals stay open and it remains economically viable.
