they're not. this is a global phenomenon not just for chinese money, but russian, arab, etc.

it is probably just a proportionally bigger issue in Vancovuer as Vancouver will be one of the smaller cities that is being affected. also, given the higher proportion of chinese / HK residents in Vancouver it becomes a meme for some socioeconomic condition rather than just a pure real estate issue.
