Published: 8/25/2025

Evergrande, the crisis-hit Chinese property giant, faced a new setback as its shares were removed from the Hong Kong stock market. The company's founder, Hui Ka Yan, was fined and banned from China's capital market for overstating revenue.

This crisis highlights the risks of over-borrowing and the interconnectedness of China's economy.
