"Chinese money" is mostly other kinds of money masquerading, a deeply
foolish variation on "offshore money." Offshore mostly a metaphor for
whatever it takes to swindle, data a metaphor for whatever it takes to extort.

estate has little to do with physical property. Property has little
to do with physical, and then on to the most intangible imaginable.
Say, knowledge industry's intellectual property infinite argumenta
and apologia for fleecing the unededucated by the overeducated as
evangelical fundamentalism little different from monetary exaggeration.

is one of the primary vehicles for parking private money these days
(ironically, mostly Chinese money.)
