Even if it's not done out of malice and it's purely out of ignorance, to the end user/buyer, what difference does it make? Investors and employees alike protested in front of Evergrande office regardless, and owners are still left without a complete home, or without one entirely.

And are you really trying to give them a pass? A company so large they couldn't afford to make proper financial forecast and decisions? A country so powerful and literally has hands in private businesses, they couldn't see potential problems with it? Really? There were signs of a housing bubble since 2010!

Surprise surprise, China did end up actually detaining the chairman of Evergrande and some of it's senior employees for misusing funds. Makes so much sense.

You're the one who made the argument. The responsibility lies on you.

Edit: and are you, who haven't posted a single link here yet, really telling me, who did provide news articles, to do my own research? How ironic.
