Growing up, I knew many hardworking, thrifty Chinese-American families.
Where I live now, $5 million houses are regularly snapped up by CCP money (ordinary Chinese a. don’t have that kind of money because it is grifter by the Party, and b. can’t get it out of China due to capital controls for the non-connected) and frequently left empty, or given over to their wastrel progeny who can be seen around town driving Aston Martins and Maseratis and Bentleys while smoking their f’ing Parliaments.
