I know there are a lot of Chinese who have serious money; they won't have any problems getting visas.
You can say that again. If you've ever been to HKG, you should see the Louis Vuitton store over by Ocean Terminal. There is a long queue made up of mostly mainland Chinese and they shop!!!!

A friend of mine who works for HSBC would tell me stories about how they'd come down to HKG and buy condos and pay it all upfront in cash.
