The Chinese debt crisis could bring the whole world economy to its knees. Now, what do I mean by this? China actually is one of the biggest issuers of debt in the world, most of it going to their own state-owned companies. In 2022, debt defaults have already hit over $20 billion in China compared to $9 billion just a year ago. Additionally, last year, Evergrande, one of the biggest property developers in China, flagged that they were going to default on their bonds as well. Many online are calling this a Lehman Brothers event. Which was the catalyst for the 2007-2008 economic crash. Comment what you think is going to happen below.
