I think there is a reason why Chinese money heads to West Coast USA / Canada and Russian money heads to UK. The large Asian population in the Coastal North American cities makes it a place that a rich Chinese person would actually want to live long term and send his family there. It is a place where they would have an easier time assimilating.

I think that can't be discounted.

Why do Russians like the UK?

likely geographic proximity, but I'm not as familiar with Russian behavior as I am with Chinese behavior, so don't quote me on it.
