The bigger question is if China is going to prioritize local debt holders over overseas debt holder (everyone should take a massive haircut though), and what happens to the apartments they've sold but not built yet (since Chinese banks have lent money to people to buy those).


Ooh! I got this one! They will.


Good, a nation with self-respect.


Is there that much chinese debt owned by overseas investors? I'd always thought the chinese deliberately insulated their financial system as much as possible to avoid foreign influence over their economy.


Enough of it:

About $2b worth out of $300b of debt, so not that much, although I'm not sure if this is just one group of many.
