China’s Developers Struggle to Sell Assets to Raise Cash

The video discusses the challenges faced by developers dealing with distressed assets in China. Developers are unable to sell assets due to restrictive policies known as the 'three red lines,' which limit their ability to incur debt. These policies have led to a catch-22 situation where developers cannot sell assets at desired prices, and potential buyers are hesitant due to financial constraints. The video also highlights the impact of these policies on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and bond sales, emphasizing the difficulties developers face in navigating these financial restrictions.
