Are you saying foreigners who make their millions doing honest hard work don't exist? Painting these Chinese investors as all corrupt officials is, again, smells of racism.

I am sure the number isn't 99% and I was willing to agree until you mentioned the "factories." Those the same factories that rely off individuals working in deplorable conditions and barely making enough money to survive? One individual pursuing an MA in Labour Studies is a 2nd gen Chinese-Canadian, and she was open about the inhumane practices at her uncles factory. Employees not getting paid, working 16 hrs a day, working injured etc...China is beginning to see improvements in the treatment of workers, but that's largely in part to the increasing flight of manufacturing zones that are relocating to other impoverished countries.
