China’s Millionaires Are Worried. That’s a Problem for Wall Street.

Updated Dec. 18, 2023 12:15 am ETChina’s economic slowdown has become a big problem for banks that serve the rich. For years, banks including Citigroup, JPMorgan and UBS competed hard to win business from China’s giant pool of wealthy people. They hired thousands of relationship managers with the language skills and cultural know-how to gain the trust of mainland China’s moneyed class, and helped them buy shares in Hong Kong, real estate in the U.S. and expensive paintings from European collections.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

China’s Country Garden Was Given a Second Chance to Make a Bond Payment. It Failed.

Updated Oct. 18, 2023 7:01 pm ETChinese property giant Country Garden has missed a final deadline to pay interest on a dollar bond, capping a remarkable fall from grace for a company that was once considered among the safest developers in the country. The company hasn’t made a $15.4 million interest payment on an outstanding dollar bond, according to two investors who hold the bond. That could lead to a wave of cross-defaults on its other international debt. Country Garden had around $15.2 billion of international bonds and loans outstanding at the end of June, according to its public disclosures. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
