A Hong Kong court ordered the liquidation of China Evergrande, the world’s most indebted property developer.

Evergrande has assets of about $245 billion, but owes about $300 billion.

Its demise is a “controlled collapse,” but still raises systemic risk and will hurt investors, says an analyst.

    Let’s see if China have a capitalism with American characteristics and is going to rescue the company with public money, or if they’re going with a more theorical one and left it going broke.

      Thats not what liquidation means.

      To turn over to a trustee one’s assets and accounts, in order that the several amounts of one’s indebtedness may be authoritatively ascertained, and that the assets may be applied toward their discharge.

      In America, the company would be handed a fat check.
