of the action since the warning signs emerged.

Emily, you're one of the best people I know to clue us in into what's going on with

艾米麗，你是我認識的最好的人之一，可以為我們提供線索，讓我們知道發生了什麼事。

I think to understand the whole scale of it, we have to start from the beginning.

我認為要了解它的整個規模，我們必須從頭開始。

So what is Evergrande, and is it just a real estate company?

那麼，什麼是恆大，它只是一家房地產公司嗎？

Evergrande was founded by Hui Ka Yan in 1996 in Guangzhou and basically rode China's

The warning signs of a potential collapse appeared as early as 2018, when Evergrande

Evergrande borrowed to finance all of its pursuits and its debt ballooned.

It has since accumulated over $300 billion in debt, giving it the title of the world's

It also sold $6.5 billion in high yield management products, and that's to an estimated 80,000 investors.

它還出售了65億美元的高收益管理產品，而這是向大約8萬名投資者出售的。

And then there's the homebuyers that pre-paid for 1.6 million flats that have still yet

I wanted to talk about China's three red lines, right.

First, to ensure a liability to asset ratio of less than 70%.

If you cross all three of these lines, which Evergrande does, this will restrict you from
