A Hong Kong court ordered the liquidation of China Evergrande, the world’s most indebted property developer.
Evergrande has assets of about $245 billion, but owes about $300 billion.

I have a feeling that “too big to fail” will continue to be the mantra in the west for bailing these institutions out.
