Just keep chopping it down. It eventually gives up. 
keep stripping new growth off the stumps, they will die. The injector method sounds precise and maybe quicker ( it takes about two years for a stump to rot it's roots). I hate the idea of injecting the earth with any more poison, but sometimes its the best way. This tree is very invasive so to some extent on the spot killing toxins are better than inefficient, time consuming hand clearing that allows its spead. Someone told me once that if you bang copper nails into a tree, they poison it, but I don't know if its true.
