China President Xi Jinping's Miami visit could boost Chinese investor interest in Florida, reports Lifezette (6 April 2017). The number of Asian investors to Miami has skyrocketed in recent years, and this visit to Florida rather than Washington DC could further boost this interest in Florida. “There are many individual and corporate investors buying in Florida, but Chinese developers are also exploring the state looking for good opportunities to build. Florida is an attractive market,” said Charles Pittar, CEO of Juwai.com, a Chinese real estate services firm, speaking to Forbes.
