💥China's property sector, heavily reliant on debt-fueled growth, is collapsing as the bubble in the housing market bursts.
🏢Leading property developer Evergrande's default highlights the challenges faced by the entire industry, with dozens of developers in default and over a hundred billion dollars of debt payments unpaid.
💰The collapse of the property sector not only affects the economy but also has a significant impact on the Chinese middle class, who have invested their savings in real estate.
🔒The Chinese government's efforts to reign in the property sector aim to reduce financial risks but also put the social contract at risk, as the promise of economic prosperity is questioned.
🌍The collapse of Evergrande and the broader property crisis in China has implications for the global economy, as the sector is intertwined with international investors, creditors, and suppliers.
