B.C. Supreme Court case pits Chinese property investor Tony (Tong) Zhang against Hang Yin , his wife and daughter.

Zhang estate's civil suit maintains that Hang Yin and his family fraudulently misappropriated $45 million worth of Zhang ’s investment money.

Research shows volume of money pouring out of China into real estate into Australia and Canada jumped by up to six times between 2016 and 2019 .

Canadian property developer John D’Eathe says federal government hasn’t appeared to care where most real-estate investment money comes from.

D'Eathe said Canadian governments and banks have largely not been asking how offshore investors are able to exceed China ’s currency restrictions.

Author of the crime novel Laundering the Dragon says he's experienced dubious behaviour in trans-Pacific property development.
