    Its mainland unit Hengda Real Estate has defaulted on 4bn yuan (£449m; $547m) of debt, it revealed on Monday.
    The BBC’s Analysis Editor Ros Atkins examines the background to the current crisis.

    I believe a housing market crash is on the horizon due to many individuals buying homes above the asking price despite low interest rates. Now, as housing prices drop, these buyers are in risky situations without equity. Foreclosure seems probable if they can't afford their homes. Even selling wouldn't bring profits. This situation will likely affect many, especially with expected layoffs and the rapid rise in the cost of living.

      I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad as it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short-time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advice but get buying, cash isn’t king at all at this time!

      It is always a good time to buy a house to live. However, the mortgage should be similar or close to the rentable price. No point paying a $3000 mortgage when rent is only $1500.
      As for investment, same principle. As long rent can cover the mortgage and taxes in a popular area, go ahead. It's passive income. Even if the market crashes to half-price , someone is still paying your mortgage.
      As for stocks, just buy companies that won't fail. Coke cola, Amazon, Google , Apple , tesla , dollar tree.... these stocks won't be the most profitable stocks, but for sure they will continue to make money. If market crashes, sell when profitable, buy more when losing.

    This happened with the 2004 housing boom - home prices were greatly inflated, meaning people couldn't sell later because they owed more on the house than they could sell for. I know quite a few people who bought then, thinking they were making a good investment to sell later, but it's taken until the COVID housing boom for the prices to come back to those original amounts.

      To balance out your real estate holdings, I suggest investing in equities. If you're cautious, even the worst recessions can present fantastic buying opportunities. Additionally, volatility can produce fantastic short-term purchase and sell opportunities. This is not financial advise, but you should buy immediately away because money isn't king right now!

      Would you mind providing details on the advisor who helped you? saving for a pension through a corporate program since the age of 18. I hit greater tax along the road, so I increased my company pension with a SIPP (tax benefits).

      We need to simply let people pay their own money or make their own financial arrangements for credit and use that money to buy what they want. If that is all guided by greed then it will guide them well towards a good deal.
      As for government we need to scrutinise them heavily so that they aren't doing dodgy deals with developers. Zoning is one the tools that Government wields to guide what is built where. The effect is that we are always too slow to meet demand. Maybe they should use a lighter touch and allow demand to dictate more.

    Well China must stop home builders from requiring payment in full up front. People should be able to put up a down payment to get an home. Only once the home has been built to the satisfaction of the bank should the home builder be paid for their work. The home builder should have contracts as collateral for loans with the bank to build the project. People putting down huge down payments or payment in full up front results in the company keeping the money and not building the home. That is what caused the crash. So do not pay them until after a final inspection has occurred which is normally required to get a loan from the bank. Right? And no one should have to make a payment until they have taken possession of the home.

It didn't really affect the rest of the world that much. Of course, the problem is, the Chinese property sector is a bigger part of their economy than Japan and the budgets of their local governments are tied to the property market so this crisis should be even worse.

    So what should China do with this situation? China should seize control of the assets of the company and finish the projects itself and then put it into a trust whereas the payments go to the Chinese government. I would permit those who can prove they paid in full to take possession of their homes after the buildings are finished and put those costs onto the board of directors who took or mismanaged the money. I would seize all their stuff.

      Ironically that's how this all started. This IS a SOE using provincial government investment vehicles, land zoned out and seized by the government, and loans from state owned banks to the people. The money is quite literally in the government's pockets, and the people have the debt.
