Thoughts on this article about Chinese investment in Detroit?

I definitely don't agree with this statement from the article:

“I’ve been in the Detroit area for 35 years,” says Chen, the broker from Troy.“Thirty-five years ago downtown Detroit was like this, and it’s not getting better.”
It's encouraging to see outside investment -- like the Freep building and Stott building; however, if the majority of investors are just going to sit on their properties, as the article suggests, then I don't think that'll do much good.
