Evergrande is on the verge of default after several years of rapid growth and active borrowing. Declining sales, a high-risk business model as well as the authorities' obstruction of the Chinese housing market's recovery brought the company into crisis. At the end of June, Evergrande was $304 billion in debt.

Earlier, the media reported that Evergrande Group founder sold more than $1 billion worth of personal assets to save the company. The money, in particular, was used to pay salaries to employees, interest on some bonds, and also went to complete construction projects in several regions of China.
