Alarm bells are ringing for observers of the Evergrande crisis, with an announcement the auditor of another major Chinese property developer has resigned.
As China Evergrande and a host of other major Asian property developers continue to grapple with extraordinary debt, there are now signs the property crisis has spread further across the Asia Pacific region.
China Evergrande has been accused of conducting a "fake" conference call with creditors while it works on a restructuring proposal that could see the property giant dismantled.
What's next for China Evergrande? Following Fitch Ratings' downgrade to default status, institutional bondholders are now expected to be forced to write-off billions.
Ratings agency 'S&P Global Ratings' says a demand that Chinese property giant Evergrande repay US$260 million shows that the issuer's liquidity remains extremely weak.
