I'm surprised the ICE story took this long; you have a goon squad white trash regime militia operating entirely beyond any laws. This is Congo-level stuff.

Your president is spending 11% more days at his private company’s properties and 25% more days playing golf than at this point in his first term.

Until we have the offspring of Alan Sugar and Jimmy Saville anointing themselves President for Life while Parliament prorogues itself, I'm prepared to take the other side.
Just going to put this in a time capsule to see how it looks after the first year of a Reform majority.

Remember when the demise of Evergrande, Vanke at al were meant to portend the end of the world? And then it happened and barely anyone noticed, let alone cared. Many such cases.
Vanke’s denouement has been under the radar a bit, I guess because China property pain is an old and known story by now. But it’s quite interesting because it isn’t getting a bailout this time from a big SOE owner (Shenzhen’s metro group). Just an old fashioned fight for the assets now.
Multiple delayed principal payments and now they don’t even have the vig? RIP.
