在新西兰
上NZ herald报纸批华，已非只是批中国人买房了，而是公然为老皮的反华反移民政策张目，自己回避种族主义却引用日本人的话来表达 “there is just Chinese, Chinese and Chinese”

I am a Chinese property agent working in Auckland. Recently I emailed the New Zealand First leader Winston Peters expressing opinions on the housing crisis and immigration policy.
I thought as I am an immigrant, who happens to have been sitting in the box seat of Auckland's real estate scene,the rest of the country might find relevancy in what I have to say.
My family moved to central Auckland in 2001 from mainland China. We came here with the hope of embracing a new lifestyle as well as for the younger generation to receive a superior education.
We remember Auckland as being a city with a unique blend of European and native cultures that is termed "Kiwi", while the influx of migrants from different ethnicities steadily added vibrancy, colour and prosperity to the city.
Years went by and something curious happened.
Instead of seeing a balanced ethnic mix, Auckland started to acquire an unwholesomely Chinese flavour.
There are poorly designed, cheap signs written only in Chinese or with minimal English at every corner of the central suburbs. These are the supplement shops,internet cafes, restaurants plus a few seemingly dodgy places that are catering exclusively to Chinese customers.
Most of them have part time Chinese students as sole employees.
A recent encounter with two young Japanese professionals in Tokyo amused me.
"Going to Auckland is likegoing to China" they said.
"You don't hear English, you don't see Kiwis, there is just Chinese, Chinese and Chinese."
They felt disillusioned and bewildered. Similar voices are heard among local international students, "Are we here to study English or Chinese?"
The same relates to the real estate scene.
While the statistics show there hasbeen 3-5 per cent foreign buyers in the market, is it what we have been seeing across the auction rooms or at open homes for the past half decade?
I remember seeing young couples with their hands clenched and eyes glued to the auction screen, only to find their first dream house outbid by someone screaming in mandarin.
And I shudder to imagine their feeling when they see the very house they missed out back on the market withina couple of months, this time, with 200k added on top ... meanwhile, achampagne is uncorked at another New Zealand property expo in China.
During a recent interview with Newshub, I was asked whether I was worried about Chinese domination. No, it is not, and never has been about any race dominating another. Otherwiseit would be blunt racism.
It is about how do you want your Auckland and your New Zealand to be? Do we want trained, skilled professionals to bring our economy to the next level or all we want to see is another Chinese restaurant around the corner, or foreign visitors mistaking Auckland for China?
When New Zealand First's Winston Peters said many immigrants choose New Zealand when they have failed entering Canada, US, UK and Australia he is right.
At least it is a well perceived notion among my fellow Chinese that only the "less fortunate" choose New Zealand.
As a consequence, we have been absorbing lower quality immigrants who neither have the intention to assimilate to our culture nor the intention to set up all inclusive businesses that provide jobs for Kiwis.
In the event of any of the above-mentioned countries loosening their immigration policies, brace yourself for a downward ride: far fewer people will be willing to pay the same for your home or to lease your shop.
This is because while the property market has been reflecting an exhilarating population growth it is also fuelledby the widespread assumption that "the Chinese pay the most." It is irrational exuberance at its worst.
It is time for us New Zealanders to rethink.

感觉他疯了。在攻击所有华人移民，忘了他是从大陆来的移民一样。不知道他是不是和他父母移民来的。如果是，很想知道他的父母为这个国家的经济发展做过什么？

呵呵，反正我看到隔几个月加价上市的房子，owner大部分都不是中国人的名字。。。本地kiwi炒房的更多，这中介就是骗不明真相的人

跟什么人混就有什么认知。中国来移民专业人士水平高的多了去了。只是他Adam碰不到而已。自己不行就觉得别人也不行... 实话挺redneck的，和NZF很多支持者一个情况。他扯那么多无非一句话，他对新移民羡慕嫉妒恨。
评论
一个人当他忘了自己是谁的时候是多么可悲的事情。没有想到新一轮的反华潮由一个中国人点燃。也许这个人忘了自己是中国人，但是外族人是非常高兴这样的声音由华人内部发出，不管他说的是否是事实，刚好可以利用，何乐而不为。
有些人为什么永远都不懂只有团结才可能被人尊重呢？

So what?
Chinese is the largest ethnic group in the planet. If every ethnic or country were given an equal chance to immigrant, of course you will see more Chinese immigrant in here.
What do you expect?
This is a free country. If he does not like Auckland, he is free to elsewhere.
评论
it is your country, it is their country
we might be large on the planet, but we are small here.
our chance was given, and it can be taken back any time.

“there is just Chinese, Chinese and Chinese”
矮油，你让印度人怎么想
评论
90%印度人活的很‘低调’
85%国人活的很‘高调’
‘高调’拉仇恨，‘低调’招可怜
没什么可比性！
话说回来，自古排华的都是混的不尽人意的人居多。。。不信去看看游行的都是些什么妖魔鬼怪。。。
评论
中国人如果移民新西兰取得新西兰国籍了，还能叫中国人吗？应该叫新西兰人！
只要不违法，新西兰人炒房怎么了？新西兰人用中文挂牌子怎么了？新西兰人就是爱说中文不爱说英文怎么了？你管得着吗？

华人的贪婪会害死所有人～
迟早的事，不是这个事件成为导火索，也会有别的事
这种东西不是你不承认它就不存在的
评论
道德婊们可以骂我，但我确实同意他的观点
评论
这..你先给打算骂你的人扣上道德表的帽子, 怎么好意思再骂你
评论
同意你的观点，，，这是GD留下的不幸遗产。
很可惜Adam继承了这个“高调”，，，很不幸他自己很差劲，，，

不知道当年白人来的时候毛利人们是怎么想的.
既然从全是毛利人变成到处是白人, 没什么问题, 那现在从到处是白人变成到处是亚洲人又有何不可呢并且也没见当年白人们积极学习毛利语融入毛利文化呀...
不过毕竟年代不同了, 当年他们用暴力做过的事情现在华人用钱来做那就是伤天害理人神共愤的了

认识的这几年来的投资移民（包括很多所谓创业移民），几乎都是老婆主申请人，带着孩子在这里坐移民监，老公做空中飞人，顺便炒几套房子，移民监坐完了立即回国，退休了再来
这难道不是事实嘛？他们为新西兰做了什么贡献了？创了什么业了？
评论
这种掩耳盗铃的回复一点意思也没有！文章里的现象并不是不存在吧。 投机炒作在哪个国家什么市场都是被限制的， 规则有漏洞， 如果你钻了空子， 或是占到便宜了就低调点。 别得了便宜还卖乖， 要不这个国家迟早被我们玩坏~~
评论
"国家迟早被我们玩坏"，呵呵，你太高看你自己了。
法律是吃素的么？
投机炒作只要不违反法律，在这里就是被允许的。其他人就只能眼睁睁看着，然后闭嘴一遍呆着去。
资本和商业运作的本性就是逐利。我个人虽然吃不到一勺羹，但我看到利润被华人吃去了，华人的文化走向主流，心里还是很高兴的。
评论
他这篇文章种族主义倾向太严重了，新西兰本来就是自由的国家，新移民来了自然带来新的文化，当年欧洲人占领新西兰的时候不也是把毛利人的文化挤压到最低。难道现在还想搞种族隔离，中国人都别来了，再说移民第一的也不是中国人而是印度人吧！
评论
没有中国人也有印度人洋人炒，最后结果就是五十步笑百步。。。何必呢
一种米养百种人，想通了就好
评论
如果觉得这里的中国人太多了，就自己滚出新西兰。如果不承认自己是中国人，就不要以中国人的身份发言。逆向种族主义，最可恨也最可怜了。这种人以自己的种族为耻，又无法摆脱，就崩溃到神经错乱了。有个词专门说这种的，慕羊犬。

这傻比脑子进水了 。
