Maybe we should stop depending on China. Probably a good idea.


We like too much cheap crap for that.

Consumers depend on cheap crap from China, and our government depends on China buying our debt so our government can keep overspending.

Oh BTW, one of the largest buyers of Evergrande debt is Blackrock. Blackrock is the world's largest asset manager and owns tons of RE.


Honestly if these Chinese companies lose control of US property wouldn’t it be a good thing long term?


I'm seriously confused by this thread, I thought most of the Trump people hated China and would welcome this news with open arms. Will it hurt short term? Sure, but if this has a massive falling out it is going to wreck China and put the US is a great position going forward. Now if dumbasses in Washington and other States can capitalize on the fallout is yet to be seen of course... who knows.

P.S: I also hope we see a housing bubble pop, companies like Blackrock have made relators and their ilk very rich people over the last few years, but this has been at the cost of putting a massive squeeze on the middle class, it's time for a correction.

Those that understand economics realize that this would strongly affect the USA, and your 401k could take a hit.

Uncertainty about how much pain it will cause in the US.

Long Term? Sure.

But our government and our investor class via the stock market have long stopped caring about the long term. It's all about the short term and maximizing the short term.

The hell with the long term. That's for the next generation to deal with, right?

If this country cared even a little bit about the long term, we would not be inflating like we are.

What's good for the long term is a reckoning... but that's not good for the short term, so we delay as long as we can.

China is barking hard about "income inequality." So it's probably time for a great leap forward, or something along those lines.

Put it all in Mexico and South America. Build a railroad. There’s plenty of cheap labor and space in Mexico.

As long as there aren't tons of people on ARM's like there were in 08 and in a highly inflated market it might be ok.

I know the bank my ex-wife works for stopped doing constitution loans 5 months ago. So maybe some banks played it safe.

The entire global financial house of cards is going to come crashing down in the next 2-3 years. Famine and food shortages are on the way. Our sociopathic “leaders” are taking this train right over the cliff. No one will be immune.

they could just have the Fed buy even more treasury bonds at rock bottom interest rates, often introducing new liquidity into circulation in the process. Kind of been their MO this last decade

no way that system contributes to wealth inequality and inflation, no way at all

Appreciate the dead cat bounce in the markets, China


I think they made a deal with Chinese bondholders but they'll probably stiff offshore holders.

Per Bloomberg evergrande was told not to default on yuan denominated bonds. They made that payment and missed payment on the dollar bonds.

They are cracking down on all over leveraged businesses and putting CEOs in jail.

If they pay on yuan bonds and default on dollar the pain will be here.

quote:

HONG KONG, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Trading in shares of debt-laden China Evergrande was suspended on Monday after it missed a key bond interest payment last week, its second offshore debt obligation in a week, with market watchers jittery as the group’s troubles unravel.

Shares of its unit Evergrande Property Services Group were also suspended, according to the Hong Kong stock exchange.

With liabilities equal to 2% of China’s GDP, Evergrande has sparked concerns its woes could spread through the financial system and reverberate around the world, though worries have eased somewhat after the central bank vowed to protect homebuyers’ interests.
