A new study on China’s real estate market reported by state media paints a bleak picture: 76 of the biggest real estate developers need to repay 2,500 trillion yuan ($367 trillion) in the next 12 months, including 177 trillion yuan ($25.69 trillion) in interest.
Such enormous debt has prompted real estate firms to refinance.
A second study, conducted by private financial data service supplier Chinese Beike Institute, revealed that Chinese property developers issued 307 bonds in the third quarter of 2020 and collected about 324.7 trillion yuan ($47.67 trillion) from Chinese and overseas financial markets.
The scale of financing in Q3 is 14 percent higher than Q3 in 2019, and is the highest one in history, the study concludes.
Property developers also gave big discounts to new buyers, and sought to restructure to pare their debts.
In August, Evergrande, Chinas largest real estate firm by sales volume, asked the Guangdong provincial government to help restructure its assets to avert a cash crunch.
Chinese state-run 21st Century Business Herald published on Sept. 27 the results of a study conducted by state-run Nandu Big Data Research Institute.
The Nandu study found that Evergrande needed to pay 395.7 trillion yuan ($58.1 trillion) in debt with interest in the next 12 months. Chinas second-largest property developer by sales volume, Country Garden, has to pay 105.8 trillion yuan ($15.53 trillion), third-largest Vanke has to pay 96.8 trillion yuan ($14.21 trillion), and fourth-largest Sunac has to pay 140.6 trillion yuan ($20.64 trillion).
The four companies with the largest debtsEvergrande, Sunac, Greenland, and Country Garden, respectivelywould have to repay more than 100 trillion yuan ($14.68 trillion) in debt (with interest) within a year.
In total, 76 of the top firms owe more than 2,500 trillion yuan in interest-bearing liabilities, or about 35 percent of total

Here is a more accurate picture ( I think ) from Reuters:
SOURCE: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-evergrande-idUSKBN26J082
“China Evergrandes borrowings totalled 835.5 billion yuan at June-end, of which onshore trust loans and bank lending made up 41% and 29% respectively.”
835 Billion Yuan amounts to only $120 Billion ( OK, still a large sum, but not unmanageable from a Chinese government rescue point of view ).

ARTICLE TITLE
Shocked: Who is the first to detonate the 76 real estate companies who have to pay 2.5 trillion debts within a year?
In my travels, I saw that China’s corporate, personal and government debt is 300 percent of GDP.
I’m wondering what ours is.
Lots of countries in a lot of debt. wow.
Top. Kek.
1) And they say TRUMP is in financial trouble?
2) Sounds like China coulda used some old-fashioned global *cough* warming. Oh well, there’s always the Three Gorges Dam for a loan reset.
How many fraudulent votes for Omar would that take?
Some third-world author that doesn’t know the difference between conventions using ‘.’ vs ‘,’ as a placeholder in numbers?
[If this is indicative of Chinas finances in general, they are in a very precarious place. That said, this makes China an even bigger threat, as their political leadership will not just go quietly into the night.]
You might say that was an “Epoch” failure.
Pretty soon Trump will own half of Red China. Welcome to the new Trump Hotel and Politburo Complex in Peking!!!
It is hard to get reliable numbers out of China, because fraud has become such a dominant norm in business and government there.
Yet it is clear by many measures, that they have gone on a truly historic debt binge. A lot of it is pure Ponzi Scheme fraud, and a lot of actual business is far too over leveraged to sustain through a recession. A few months back (before COVID) McKinsey warned that the majority of industrial companies in China were at a very high risk of not being able to meet even the interest payments on their debt, much less pay down the principal.
By far, this has been the greatest debt binge in history.
A tight spot only a major war can pull them out of?
A hundred trillion here, a hundred trillion there. Pretty soon you’re talking real money.
Well, China is dumping the paper yuan for the digital yuan. It’s probably cheaper and easier to add zeros to a digital currency than a paper currency. Digital saves the cost of ink, paper and printing press machines.
The digital yuan should not be confused in any way as a cryptocurrency like ethereum or bitcoin.
Anyway, I think China is on the brink of some ridiculous catastrophic event that nobody expected.
(Buy gold and jars of chunky apple sauce w/cinnamon.)

It also makes your transactions TRACEABLE by the Chicoms. As long as anybody doesn’t mind this, be my guest.
