- In China, embattled real estate giant Evergrande faces a major moment of truth this week. The company owes an estimated 300 billion dollars, and is expected to default on bond payments.
Evergrande operates and develops 1,300 real estate projects across China and employs 200,000 people. The company financed its breakneck expansion with credit and bond issues. But the pandemic has paralyzed its operations. Its debt equates to two percent of Chinese Gross Domestic Product.
Evergrande was always thought to be 'too big to fail.' If it topples it could take a number of banks down with it, like Lehman Brothers did in 2008.
The risk of defaulting has prompted a sell-off. Evergrande stocks have lost 80 percent of their value since the start of the year.

You know when a Chinese man said he worked hard he absolutely grafted 70 hours a week for the last decade! Very sad to see he may never get his home.
@Apsoy Pike Those are no homes. Those are stacked rocks with cracks 1 year in.
thats why enjoy life..
And his kids grow up in a digital jail.
They will It's China
Unbelievable he didn't see it coming
everytime they say theres nothing to worry about, thats when you worry
Everytime she says hes like a brother to me you have to assume hes like a brother to her😭🤐
To be fair, the Chinese government's motto to their people is "don't think about that."
Vaccines are safe nothing to worry about.

Greed..it happens in all countries, however in this case ,people are super desperate to own a home and the company used this to their detriment and also to screw over the trade suppliers.
We know who will end up paying for it, the people who bought a house.
The Chinese government will probably bailout those people. I hope they learned the lessons from the US bailing out companies and what those companies did in return to the people.
@@questworldmatrix China government owns everything
Since the whole business is about holding lands as the assets, as long as the housing price doesn’t fall , no one lose ,that’s why the central government is saying ,the price will stop increase or fall.
@@questworldmatrix No they won't
@@questworldmatrix I think if China nationalized the industry, they will likely bail the home owners out, but I think a more likely situation is that the government will only bail enough parties out to avoid a total collapse…
High reward, High risk.
Who ever said that too big to fail is a thing
Bankers
People with a lower average than you can dream of....oddly
@@edew9180 yeah but saying that a big project won't have any complications seems unlikely
@@edew9180 anyway, those billionaires won't lose that much
I think too big to fail has more to do with saving the middle class from an even greater disaster but I might be wrong
So, opening figure is 300 billion. We'll see how much debt there really is in the coming days...
Exactly, since evergrande also has a lot of sub-companies that are off the books, and whose debts are (apparently) covered by evergrande. So there might be a lot more debt here than there is on the records.
Even without that much debt, I suspect its equity has dipped to negative
One wonders how many other companies own stock in this deadbeat or have loaned money to them.
And that number is incrising, 50 million interest a day ---opening figure . Millions have lost their business in the covid lock down , and there will be another 3 million people lost their job, and 2million bought their house with life saving become homeless
99999999 billion probably. Evergrande is easily another bill hwang.
Tbh this seems essential to deflate the housing bubble...
@@Ruth-wu3vf whats your iq?
Ofc. Nobody ever mentions this Evergrand thing was triggered by the Chinese government pushing out policies to burst this bubble - on purpose, lol!
@@pinkcichlid The banks were making risky loans that allow speculators to buy real estate for the sole purpose of speculating on the price going up. Can you get loans from the bank to buy stocks or go to the casino?
The CCP was just doing what it should have done from the start, but their hands are in the cookie jar since the government makes money from selling real estate as well.
Will it impact our markets though or will it only impact China/asia? I'm afraid of the latter.
It also gonna deflate the poor and middle class wealth
A few things DW has not got it straight:
1) Why Evergrande failed? DW said that's because of the pandemic - but the reality is that China has been doing exceptionally fine during the pandemic, supporting the world with its industry; Evergrande instead failed as a result of a surgical move by the China government via introducing regulations for the real estate developers.
2) DW said that "the crisis is causing panic in Beijing with fears that the collapse would..." In the contrary, I think this is a calculated collapse planned by Beijing to get rid of these over-leveraged real estate developers. There is no "too big to fail" mantra to solve the capitalists in the eye of these communists country planners.
As in the goal is to nationalize Evergrande?
@@BicycleFunk maybe, who knows? But my guess is that the goal is to reduce that debt through intentional self-inflicted damage
Good point 👍
@@DevNicholson Keep your stupidity to yourself
China is far too smart see a total collapse. Things will be worked out for the best
If someone takes a risk, they should be responsible for any outcomes.
Why do we baby corporations and throw the burden on the every day person?
The whole point of public corporations is to spread the risk. Capitalism is predicated on people taking financial risks with other peoples money which they would balk at if they were personally liable for all losses. There has always been an element of privatising profits, while socialising losses built in to capitalism.
@@q.e.d.9112 well said.
Well, these kind of projects need some type of RISK INSURANCE....for any circumstances...I really do not understand the bank and insurance field go hand in hand....so what is the reason here not to cover the whole project with insurance policy??? As they did in 2008. ,,,..............there could be another reason: this is only a cover building, a cover project to hide something...they could drive into bankrupcty or to shut down it.......for some reasons, we cannot see their play cards...what has been going on in their mind ...
@@q.e.d.9112 Capitalism isnt about socializing losses it is about distributing them. So instead of one prince losing $300B millions of everyday investors lose a few thousand.
Or at least thats the theory. What actually happens is a cabal take their million dollar salaries and walk away, the government socialises the institutional investors losses, and thousands of investors lose their small stakes.
The company can not default china will bail it out otherwise it will cause a crisis in china
The company is indeed to big to fail 200k employees while over more then 1 million people working for óther companys hired by evergrande
If it fails if will cause more harm to the hard working people
it's an unpopular thing to do but that's cuz people don't understand it
EG paying those debts with real estate is just liquidation without calling it liquidation.
It’s unfinished building and empty lands ….
Payment in kind!
And a potential way for some communist party member to get a steal of a deal and use it to gain more power. Potential political shift possible with an event like this and that’s not good for anyone
Pretty much, unregulated liquidation at that, just everybody making off with what they can grab.
@@Howdoyoupurr your idea of CP official is one from 1935!! 😒
“Too big to fail’ is the western question. ‘Not close enough to the CCP” is the Chinese answer.
That's a contradiction. you can't get big if you're not close enough to CCP. Racism sees ccp connection when you see a big company, you see lack of connection when you see possible default in the same company. lol

@@AlienLivesMatter He is a China shill pay no attention the entire world laughs at China now.
@@DK-yz9xk These ghost cities that are filled is more of a bandaid. What’s happening is that it’s just moving the existing population around. There are less people moving from rural China to cities and birthdate is low but despite that there is rampant building in order for Chinese states to make money and avenues for the Chinese to invest. It’s just over supply and decreased demand. Property value will sink and investors will lose money. Only thing is to get actual sustainable demand by driving an immigrant population in to the country but that’s like a whole host of issues.

Evergrande had a junk credit rating, so this is business as usual, surely? Anybody who bought them should have been prepared for failure, unless they didn't know what they were doing?

If something becomes too big to fail, then it has no incentive to do well. Let it fail.
Business failure is plays a critical role in a healthy capitalist market.
However due to politics in many countries, too big to fail companies/corporations are being saved/bailed out because the potential catastrophic collateral damage is huge and could sway politics.
I am agree. Let it down. It a private company.
That's why you NEVER buy something you have visited or even finished yet.
It's crazy when I hear people spend their life savings (and then some debts) on a property that is still in planning.
China's real estate market was 2006 on steroids for going on years now. It was the only real investment Chinese people could buy. Now the bubble pops like it always does.
I read somewhere saying that most of the buyers were speculators, not first time home buyers. That's why the chinese government is not so keen in helping it out.
I think it's because it will go expensive as more time goes by, but it's sure spectacular to see an economic crisis due to the incompetence of Winnie the Pooh.
I believe in buying plot nd making the house from ground. But, vertial Building system is a tricky issue.
rich people pay on credit, poor people pay in advance. elon musk for example avoids income tax entirely by getting all his income in stocks, and taking out loans against those stocks instead of selling them, so he has no income but a functionally infinite amount of credit.

Nothing new here.

Why CNN doesn't talk about Evergrande????
It's interesting how this is only being talked about outside of China now. People who know real estate in China probably saw this from a lightyear away. Evergrande has always had a reputation of being shady and delivering unreliable real estate and financial products, as well as poor accounting and treatment of employees. They are also known for cheap but generally poor quality housing. Obviously not all companies are like this in China but unfortunate that this one got so large.
I am really impressed how you went deep to the ever recent issue where others fail. Always will go for DW for detail analysis and good journalism.
The Lehman comparison makes no sense. That was an investment bank, this is a developer... and there are no trillions of derivatives standing out with a A+++ rating
I guess they mean the cascading effect that sent waves rippling through he world~
They're not just in real estate. They have sold tons of financial products to people as well. This is a lot bigger than it seems.
I think you're confusing "comparison" with "perfect one-to-one equivalency".
U.S is run by capital therefore it is vulnerable to capitalist crisis. China has a capitalism and a capitalist class comparable to the west and in some ways starting to become more powerful however they don't have political power which means they will not be able to "lobby" and it will be up to the party as the response that's appropriate and i definitely don't think they will bail them out. They will likely use the state run economy to avoid a credit crunch and restructure the company with alot more party oversight in the future.
Isn't Evergrande essentially an investment firm? People use it to invest. And it's massively leveraged. It's just the assets that people invest in that's different. With Evergrand it's property.

Once again it will be the innocent middle low class that will pay for this mess
'Lower middle class' is the word you're looking for. You're welcome.
It's been almost half a year since this video, the clowns at DW really didn't think this one through.
1.4billion people in China were not “expert” enough to weigh in on their own country and had to call in that ONE westerner
It’s not a democracy dude, they have no say.
@@wombatau - wut are you smoking? Im talking about the DW video.
"Wack-a-mole" says a lot about the mindset of these company execs and the banks that fund them. Makes you wonder what they talk about behind closed doors.
Did any investors diversify their investments, or just put it all in property? Because that's a noob mistake right there?
Most chinese people "invest" their money in real state, to the point that more than 50% of chinese homeowners own more that one property. 90% of chinese own a house. Ask yourself What happens when everyone owns more than one house and everyone wants to sell it.
Those were never "family homes for the future." They were too poorly built to inhabit. It was a boondoggle all along.
Upvote for the use of the word Boondoggle.
$200 billion in debt. How can company be allowed to keep gathering debt like that. Anybody who has seen these properties will know they are also piss poor quality. Not a good investment at all.
Greed brings you nowhere.
only 300 billion, won't create big effect. good time to create regulation that prevent a company having too much debt compared to the revenue.
Only 300 billion? it is actually a big number
@@xavier7yearsago430 depend on what you compare to. that company have habit to borrow money from the bank for the project, then sell it cheap. I don't understand the owner's thinking. he used to be smart, though.
That map of China should NOT INCLUDE TAIWAN!
Unless, the KMT return to the mainland, or the CCP are disbanded and a true democracy reigns over the mainland!
There is no such thing as democracy
Showing your true colours there, democracy isn't for everyone.
Not your country not your choice to make
@@johnnybc1520 yes there is... WUMAO
NMSL!
The US is hardly a democracy because we get only a lousy option between 2 rotten parties. Our politicians work not for the people but are paid by rich elites to advance their interests. Ordinary masses in America are just an afterthought for these wretched politicians.
Considering land is owned by the state, trading real estate for debt is risky. The CCP can just take the land back and demolish the building.
Or wait for the buildings to fall down, I heard tofu is delicious.
Well they'd have to wait for the typical 70 year land lease to end first.
that has its own consequences.
What utter rubbish
very good journalism. keep up the good work
Time to tighten the Belt (and Road).
We need Charlton Heston in front of a half-buried Statue of Liberty.
😂
Losing face is more important than anything to the CCP. It will be interesting to see how they manage this. Restructuring Evergrande seems likely and saying "necessary losses for the public good"
If they let this get out of control and contagious, they will lose face. To save face they should, take it over and recapitalize and deleverage. Punish the shareholders/executives, and then make the customers, employees, and suppliers whole. I would be surprised if they did anything different.
@HAL 9001 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 absolutely! I am also hoping the Chinese government will severely punish them so that the psychotic greedy corporations can learn and avoid these schemes at all cost. Unlike in western countries, China does lock up greedy billionaires which is already much better.
hahaha, here goes another guy who thought he knew China. First of all, how is the falling of a private enterprise having anything to do with losing face, whatever that even means, you think China will value the feeling of people like you? Secondly, China is not the capitalist US and nothing is too big to fail. Maybe the government will eventually step in to help those small investors and customers impacted, it will make sure executives who are responsible do NOT walk away freely, again, UNLIKE what you people in the west do.
@@LarryLiu77 exactly!
The Chinese government tries to prove the large private corporations are dangerous withou tight regulations. So you don't get the big picture. China hates Trump style businessmen! If they fail, it proves the point.
The real losers are the people that have already bought homes…. That guy they interviewed was holding back tears. I’m pissed
My answer is 'NO'.
The major shareholder is a big gambler by any measure. He had made lots of money for himself purely through inflated property values in the first 15 years when the country's policy was in favour of property developers. He does not know what to do when in adversity. He is not a businessman. His going under will make the market place a more orderly playground for other decent businessmen.
People love buying things they don't actually obtain yet. Crazy.
They should sell off their football team, Guangzhou Evergrande F.C.
They have asked to return their license
"Communisim with Chinese characteristics"
Actually, the communism is no more
All those people just lost their investment
lol the building is still there, just need bit more money to complete it
If it is expected to default on its debts I would call it a failure already
Ghost cities, ghost apartment buildings, no plumbing or electrical wiring, in hundreds of projects.
Bubble, what bubble?
Estimated, half of loans are worthless, payoffs, stolen......
The stock market has been a really tough one this past year, but I watched an interview on CNBC where the anchor kept mentioning "Tamara Diane Hagan". This prompted me to get in touch with her, and from May 2021 till now we have been working together, and I can now boast of $540,000 in my trading portfolio.
That's right, getting in touch with a consultant during the pandemic was how I was able to scale through the crazy stock downtrend.
That's massive. Can you please connect me with your personal broker, I would love to work with her
Like I said previously, her name is Tamara Diane Hagan, and you can reach her via her website.
Just run a search on her name, and you would see all you need.
thanks for the info . Found her website and it really impressive
A necessary correction just like how the pandemic was for hygiene
assuming it was natural?
😂😂 when your parent who works at unknown lab in china says wash your hands and you don’t listen.
Time to watch "Too big to fail" again like I watched "Contagion" when pandemic started.
would this effect american economy? should I start saving 90% of my monthly income?
Now its time to watch Idiocracy, that will become the future.
@@houseofhas9355 should have been anyway. And yes, it will affect everyone globally, as others who are also highly leveraged will start to crumble. Evergrande is just the catalyst. Get ready for about a two year steady crash. 2008 financial crisis started in 2007 and hit rock bottom in 2009. We will be seeing the same thing again, maybe bigger, as it's not only chinese companies, but many institutions around the globe. On the bright side, it's going to be a fire sale for any of us with liquid cash in the future so get ready.
@@mick0matic funny you say that, had the same thought yesterday as I stopped in a convenient store to buy a bottle of water. Water costed more than the same size bottle of Gatorade and I immediately thought of "Brawndo"
SMH. Unfreaking believable. The chief economist of a firm that guides a lot of global companies told my firm back in 2013 for us not to invest in China because of huge private debt that will cause a toppling effect. Said private debt will eventually become public debt. He said that China’s real estate market was way over leveraged. China was firing on all cylinders by perception. What a mess … I feel sorry for the people who invested their life savings and lost it all.
Isn't it funny how robbing banks is criminalized yet this isn't?
6:05 he looks like it is going to be far worse than he said it would......
That was the purest look of fear I've ever seen...
Things are moving in the right direction. Less money will be available for more militarization and international belligerence.
💯
Well let's see how this mess spills over various stock markets .
It is already seen here in the US today.
@@triceratopsroar8262 Yeah Indian Stock market also dipped today. Crypto markets are also down. I don't want to open my stock app tomorrow haha.
@@pranayp1950 i was long term. Now im super long term😂😂
Not by a whole lot............ China's market is very isolated......I can't even take my money out of china......
@@Miguel-ly4bm it will reflect in BANKING attitude towards their clients ALL OVER the world. Since the China's ARISE banks in Europe have becomed some real bi**es with the common citizens. God like attitude OVER some fewer but CLEAN moneys
oh dear, Australian real estate just got the wobbles!
Look at those skyscrapers... In my country there's no such kind of thing...
Hello DW, any news on how much exposure German and EU banks have to the dollar-denominated bonds of Evergrande?
Just wait until October 6, 2021, and you will have your answer. It will be a day to remember around the world.
@@ronwinkles2601 What's that day for?
@@ronwinkles2601 what do you mean?
