The real-estate empire helmed by one of China’s richest women is weeks away from a $199 billion collapse that could dwarf Evergrande

A debt crisis that rivals China Evergrande Group’s default may be brewing in the world’s second-largest economy.

Country Garden Holdings Co., helmed by one of China’s richest women, Yang Huiyan, has left investors in the dark after dollar bondholders said they’ve yet to receive coupon payments effectively due Monday. That puts the firm—which had 1.4 trillion yuan ($199 billion) of total liabilities at the end of last year—on course for its first public default if it doesn’t make the payments within a 30-day grace period.

“Any default would impact China’s housing market more than Evergrande’s collapse as Country Garden has four times as many projects,” Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Kristy Hung wrote in a report Wednesday. “Any debt crisis at Country Garden will have a far-reaching impact on China’s housing market sentiment and could significantly weaken buyer confidence on solvent private developers.”

The prolonged slump in China’s property sector has brought previously sound companies to their knees, with the likes of Central China Real Estate Ltd., a state-backed developer, repeatedly using grace periods to buy time before stopping payments.

Lots unwise investments in China. They have never experienced a burst real estate bubble and do not think it will happen in Chi a because China is the great new power.

The Chinese real estate industry is as sketchy and fragile as its construction techniques.
