Chinese property investors from the mainland are focusing on Portugal and Singapore as alternative investment destinations, moving away from traditional markets like the US and Australia and Britain amid concerns about fraying trade relations, reports South China Morning Post (19 November 2020). "Many of the [mainland Chinese] buyers who are active this year are already in their destination markets and are purchasing at a more rapid rate because they intend to stay there," said Georg Chmiel, executive chairman of property portal Juwai IQI. "Some others are purchasing as part of the golden visa process."
