How do you recover that? How the hell are they going to recover what is essentially multiple time the sum of the wealth of all the top 10 richest individuals on earth???
Presumably they won’t recover, because the Chinese state isn’t coming to their rescue: China’s housing minister says real estate developers must go bankrupt if necessary
I just hope the collapses won't pull others with them and the whole construction sector. I think the fear of that and the effects rippling to other sectors and to trust in the economy is why bailing out is sometimes done.
yes, it's a good reminder that capitalism doesn't actually work and needs to be propped up with bailouts to ensure it doesn't collapse and gets replaced.
Well China is trying to not bail them out, at least for now. And some others have done it before too. It's just people fear the risk of doing that, hoping that by bailing them out things won't be as bad.
