TL;DR Summary

China's property developer, Country Garden, has reported a record loss of $6.7 billion for the first half of the year, adding to concerns about the country's post-pandemic economic recovery. The company has also warned of potential defaults on its debts and has missed interest payments on bonds. China's property market, which accounts for a third of the economy, has been hit hard by new borrowing rules introduced in 2020, leading to financial problems for major developers like Evergrande. Additionally, China's factories have experienced a fifth consecutive month of contraction, as indicated by the Purchasing Managers' Index.
