Unless China becomes a democracy and cleans up the air and water, Mainlanders will continue to invest, buy expensive goods, and send their kids to school here, in my opinion. Hongers went back because Hong Kong hasn't blown up and there are no lucrative job prospects for people in finance here. The only way China collapses is if the developed world stops buying consumer goods.
The Russians, the Kazakhs, and the Saudis are in the Lower Mainland too. What do they all have in common? Energy-dependent economies. Our addiction to fossil fuels continues, so the money has got to be spent in a safe place with lenient immigration policies. Canada it is.
