They should consider becoming citizens if they want to get the same treatment as citizens in the country. Most countries have significant limitations on what non-citizens can purchase, try buying land in China.

Try becoming a citizen of China. And even if you manage to on paper, try becoming a culturally accepted citizen of China. China is a terrible example of what it should be like.

My favorite counterargument! Duly upvoted. I did try buying real estate in China. Just ended up giving money to my in-laws instead.

That counterargument kind of assumes you can become a citizen wherever you want. A lot of people can't, even if they could afford to buy a house.
