Dear Zhenying:

The Asia Society Southern California hosts a panel discussion on a new report on Chinese investment in the U.S. real estate market.

What：Breaking Ground：Chinese Investment In U.S. Real Estate

When：May 25, 2016, 5:30-8:00pm

Where：Millennium Biltmore Hotel, Gold Room, 506 S. Grand Ave., Los Angeles 

Cost：$40 Asia Society/Sponsor Members

It is one of the most profound consequences of China's growing wealth：Chinese investment in U.S. real estate has exploded, particularly in California and New York. Chinese nationals are now the biggest foreign buyers of American homes, purchasing at least $93 billion worth of home in the past five years, including $28.6 billion in 2015 alone. Commercial property purchases have surged as well, to $8.5 billion last year, a 15-fold increase from 2010. And, at nearly $208 billion, China is the biggest foreign holder of U.S.-government-backed residential mortgage bonds.

Asia Society and the Rosen Consulting Group are pleased to launch a study that provides an authoritative, comprehensive, and one-of-a-kind accounting of Chinese investment in the U.S. real estate market. Join us for a special program on the study and its implications; speakers will discuss the report and provide context for the broader debate, too often ideological and acrimonious, over U.S.-China trade and investment.
