A court in Hong Kong on Monday ordered China Evergrande to be liquidated in a decision that marks a milestone in China’s efforts to resolve a crisis in its property industry that has rattled financial markets and dragged on the entire economy. Evergrande, founded in the mid-1990s by Hui Ka Yan, it is the world’s most deeply indebted developer with more than $300 billion in liabilities and $240 billion in assets. Hong Kong High Court Judge Linda Chan ordered the company to be liquidated because it is insolvent and unable to repay its debts. Much depends on the extent that courts and other authorities in the communist-ruled Chinese mainland respect the Hong Kong court’s decision.
