Excerpt: “Evergrande, in short, owes money to almost everyone. And despite engaging in a fire sale of a range of its assets, Evergrande appears to have dim prospects of paying it back in a timely manner.”
“Investors who are expecting a rapid series of implosions like the global financial crisis are likely to be disappointed.
