Chinese Swoop In and Buy Up Greece for a Song

You have to hand it to the Chinese. They have a lot of strategic savvy in pursuing their economic interests.

Greece, desperate for foreign money, passed a law allowing foreigners who buy real estate worth at least 250,000 Euros to come live there. So well-heeled Chinese have been doing just that.


The Chinese also bought up Greek government debt on the cheap. And why not? The European Union and European Central Bank are enforcing repayment, loaning the Greeks money to do so while the mass of the Greek people have been driven into economic desperation.
