This would go against the ideas of being able to go to Vancouver on a whim, and finding things as they were left, or being able to jump on a plane in case of Mainland China Meltdown and directly move into their house/flat. Those apartments are not meant to be rented, they are safe places.

Contributing to the Vancouver economy and rental market? This demographic could not care less, this does not factor in their decisions.

(I have only empirical evidence of this mindset, but I would be willing to expand on what I base my reasoning on.)
