America brings in more immigrants... Those other reasons are no different from other cities, as for nice for Chinese, ya it is, so is San Fran, LA, New York (all places with more Chinese people)... Also a bit of immigration doesn't make for high property value increases, locals drive property prices.

I think all of this has been addressed in this thread previously
