In 2020, Evergrande touched the “three red lines” of real estate companies' debt problems and wealth health drawn by the authority. Therefore, it was forbidden to bid for new land and apply for new loans, and the high turnover& high debt model instantly collapsed.

The comparison with Lehman Brothers is bogus. Lehman's debt was twice as large. Lehman was an investment bank, with connection to almost every other investment bank in the world. Evergrande's debt is mostly in China. Since China is not an open economy, its banks are not tightly connected with those of other nations. The amount of its debt in foreign currency is not that large a percentage and in terms of those overseas markets is not significant. One thing it does have in common is the rating agencies. They failed to downgrade the debt in time for people to take corrective action. This also happened with Lehman Brothers.

The property valuations in China are very different than New York for example. In New York the real estate is about 10x income compared to about 40x income in China.

It's impossible to place a down payment and get a bank loan without extra family support.

If you are rich and not invested in real estate, this is certainly possible. Or, if you are young and working in a stable sector that will be insulated from the broader effects and don't care about your parents/grandparents/older generation of relatives. But, this might be wrong as China has something different than other countries: I'm not sure any investor would actually WANT a lot of the properties, even if the price crashes. Widespread use of cheap or fake materials, rampant corner cutting on vital building integrity aspects of home building, and lazy labor and construction really poses a risk to these structures withstanding time at all. However, in China and Asia as a whole, real estate is and has been thought of as the 'one true investment'. If the price of homes crashes, so does the net worth of most Chinese people. More than that, it will ripple into the wider economy, and deleveraging is often not a pleasant experience. Commodities will crash as homes are no longer being built as they are no longer as profitable. Growth will stagnate, jobs will be lost, pay will reduce... there's a whole host of other effects.

[@moomoo2717]

I am a practitioner in the Chinese construction industry, and I would like to share my views. First of all, China's real estate is constantly hoarding land through (buying land - mortgage to the bank - buying land again). Real estate only needs to be landed, no money is required. The general contractor (construction unit) is responsible for all the expenses in the early stage. When the house is constructed and the real estate company can sell the house, the money will be given to the construction unit in proportion. The price increase cycle of real estate is six years, and prices should increase in 2021. Due to the impact of COVID-19 and the decline in birth rates, the government has suppressed housing prices, and the house cannot be sold. Evergrande Group's capital chain is broken. Evergrande Group has the largest land bank in China. If the price increases normally, it will be a myth.

[@alansmith6702]

You forget to mention that they overbuild poor quality buildings. Why does anyone need to own 3 apartments? Yet it is a rat race. Owning property is a status symbol in China. The more you own, the higher your social status. So everyone competing to own as much property as possible. Unfortunately, the quality of the property is not good. Many construction defects that will show themselves in the coming years. It is a house of cards. Eventually, the system will fall apart…

China has a lot more regulatory control of companies than America does. That is one of the reasons there isn't as much worry. An example of this from 2008 was Canada's banking system was not hit nearly as hard during that fallout even though our biggest trading partner was devastated. Another is simple ignorance of the scale of the problem, while I think a lot of outside media hypes it too much, the Chinese media downplays it a lot if they report at all. I think the solution will end up being closer to what the one guy said. The government will step in, then break up the company, forcing it to sell off some of its assets and divest from other markets in favour of competitors. This toes the line between having a company too big to fail, and a having zombie corporations. You can help them out at a grave cost to them.

[@陈嫩草]

The debt and fall of Evergrande is not a big deal, which I don't think will cause serious problems. Evergrande is an epitome of real estate industry in Mainland China. It fluctuates with the policy of real estate and It's a living fossil of the history of the real estate, reflecting the process of China's urbanlization. Firstly it should be underlined that real estate is never totally capitalistic, which is not regulated by the market in China and instead is absolutely dominated by the government because in fact the land is owned and sold by the government and the house price is in the charge of the government. The real estate company like Evergrande is the the horse of carriage, of which the goverment takes advantage to boost China's economy. And real estate enterprises are a white glove for the goverment to gather fortune from the people and the scapegoat of excessive house price, whose power behind the throne is actually the government. Nowadays, China's economy transforms and tries to decrease the dependence on real estate. The real estate industry has completed its historical mission in urbanlization of China. So China will just let it go and do nothing in face of the debt crisis of Evergrande.

[@Harthorn]

[@johnyankee6999]

Not really 70 years, you just need to reregister the house and you get another 70 years so the "70 years limit" is a not true. By the way, nobody really want to tear down old house and build new houses, they only build new houses but not tear down the old ones, that is why each city has a old part and new part. The reason why nobody want to tear down old houses is because if you tear down old houses that is owned by the owners, you need to pay the compensations to these owners, no house company is that fool to do it.

If the old ones are never teared down, in 30 years you will be sections of city with water/electricity issues, and that would pave way to "poor zone" like in Western cities

[@陳查理-c2c]

@@Lyserus I don't get it at all. Sorry. In the city I live in people are in charge of their own buildings' maintenance, and there are a lot of houses which are over 30 years old or even hundreds years old, and they are just fine. Like...who lives inside the building are in charge of the renovation, and if the owners don't want to renovate, that's their business. They have their own neighborhood community to regulate those things. I know the government should care for infrastructure but it doesn't mean the houses should be torn down, unless there are safety concerns. You said people are happy with moving because they get compensation, and the other guy said no one's that stupid to pay the compensation. So do they really get the compensation? From what I see there are a lot of new buildings though. In my country if a construction firm wants to build a new building, it has to get the consent from everyone who owns the land, compensate for their renting costs, and give them a house once the new building is done. So there would be a new building and the old land owners get to choose the best apartments on the same location.

The PBOC had indeed forewarned n even instructed local banks to stop leading credits to developers beginning of last year . 3. The Evergrande collapsed was purportedly planned by the CCP themselves . It never pose big shock to observers 4. It was just another cracked down as intended after the Big Tech , Foods, Education , Health n etc to the CCP 5. Evergrande had unsold properties n many leased lands which commanded values 6. CCP ensured the local investors , contractors n purchasers being well taken care of. The local banks can hold some of the assets as collateral 7. PBOC is doing the right thing by squeezing all the avenues from the company n owners wealth to settle those creditors before step in to restructure the Organisation 8. As part of consolidating the housing industry , it will augur well for future buyers as less speculating activities hence price will stabilize 9. Many laymen Chinese had supported the crack down n happy over it . Though , it effects China short term growth but the move will promote transparency n professional ism in the developers . They hv to be responsible n pay off their debts . 10. In short , the effect will not spill over or over dent the economy as predicted but it will effect the internal GDP as housing contributed almost 25 percent of the GDP. The Western propagandas trying to pain a gloom picture of China economy thru their own perspectives. They certainly never analyse it on Chinese n CCP sentiments on it.

So it is a rat race with people trying to buy as much property as possible. Unfortunately, the quality of construction is very poor because they try to build as fast as possible. Poor quality concrete, etc. in the West, we expect our property to be fully furnished when buying. Yet in China, you are essentially buying an empty shell. It is all built on a house of cards. Eventually, prices will fall & people will want to sell as fast as possible to lock in a good price. This will cause prices to further plummet. No one needs more than one residential property. In the West, only about 2% of the population owns more than one home. In China, people are obsessed with buying as much property as possible. It truly is very sad, because the culture has been wiped out. Now, the culture is only Greed. Greed by trying to own as much property as possible. Meanwhile, 100 million empty properties in China.

[@brandmotivo]

It will happen in Australia ... and sooner than you think. AUS prices will bottom out 50-65%. Over leveraged, inflation running crazy, no wage rises, no investment in new energy, nothing being produced. AUS has never had a real recession, they've got away with it... it's hilarious when they publish stories of their last recession, it wasn't anything like a recession. AUS will crash.... massively. Wait and see.... interest rates are already about to go up.

The economy is awful, I don't even want to imagine what a Great Recession-like event would do to the world economy in its current state.

localized issues, nothing like US 2008 Lehman Brothers

[@brandmotivo]

Wrong.... not local at all.... 50% of bond buying was from the US. That money hasn't been paid back and interest payments have been missed every week for 7 weeks. China's property market will collapse, More than that, there are 98 property companies in China are with serious problems..... it will bring down the world with it. Wait and se....

@@brandmotivo Doubt it. A few hundred million or a billions loss can be absorbed by foreign bond holders. It just won't be much to hurt the rest of the world. It'll hurt some investors for a quarter or so and will simply be written off. If you are talking about trillions lost to foreign investors, then that will be something. Overall, it's not just not gonna be big enough.

wrong, Evergrande is not just a domestic borrower, it has enormous overseas debt too. It will an international issue if it really collapse.

[@realtalk675]

So interesting, they are quite smart

[@SoundsOfTheWild3]

The government will most likely lean on the banks, and other real estate companies to bail out Evergrande under the table while publicly saying it is not helping Evergrande, just enough to avoid a financial crisis and then let it die slowly. China's debt Crisis probably won't cause a Lehman moment but indicates a shift in Beijing's philosophy of GDP growth at all costs. This will be painful and hard for them. China's property sector accounts for 30% of its economic growth, Chinese people have over 70% of their wealth in property as they don't trust the Chinese stock market, and has been the main way local governments have met GDP targets through massive borrowing and then hiding the debt in LGFVs. All these factors make it harder for Beijing but if they do nothing they risk a massive economic collapse in the future so they must work to deflate the bubble now. This will most likely result in China's economic growth slowing down in the foreseeable future as the government works to restructure the economy and grind out all of the debt.

😏😏abe is no more Japan's president. Now is Yoshihide suga

[@jinain]

I Agree. It is a very general analysis.

[@jinain]

Here's the question. What's LGFV?

[@ArchesBro]

I have heard a better theory. They will break up evergrande and use banks to back smaller real estate companies to buy up the chunks. In this way, evergrande is gone, investors don't suffer too badly, and you can still arbitrarily punish the leaders even though the Chinese government corruption is what caused this real estate scam to grow. So... essentially the endgame is you are still printing government money to bail them out, but trying to publicly punish them

Please interview people about the disappearance of Peng Shuai, a female Chinese tennis player. She accused a Chinese politician who sexually assaulted her and she’s been missing ever since. Thanks!!
