In 2021, it was discovered that Evergrande, previously China's biggest property developer, was suffering with more over $300 billion in liabilities. Evergrande was under a lot of strain as a result of regulators' increased monitoring of the real estate sector.




The company's problems have come to represent the deepening crisis in China's expansive real estate market, which makes up a sizable percentage of the world's second largest economy and which many worry may spread internationally.


As the drama plays out, a number of significant developers have been hurt since they are unable to finish housing projects, which has led to protests and mortgage boycotts from homeowners.


Evergrande is the ultimate holding company for Tianji Holding and Scenery Journey, which recently filed for Chapter 15 protection in New York. Chapter 15 protection offers procedures for handling insolvency cases involving many nations.
