It looks like they will not,\u201d he said in a November 3rd Juwai blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Trump win has celebrities in the US vowing to move to Canada<\/a>, but a major economist BuzzBuzzNews spoke to says\u00a0the idea that there will be a wave of Americans heading north is \u201cnonsense.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Before Election Day, Juwai polled about 500 Chinese real estate investors to gauge the possible impact the election results could have on US real estate investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":159201,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11269],"tags":[],"coauthors":[8692],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n
