Episode intro: For years, Vanke was seen as one of the best-run developers in China\u2019s real estate sector. So, when liquidity pressure began to build around the company, it jolted the market. In this episode, host Han Wei speaks with Caixin senior reporter Chen Bo about her investigative reporting on Vanke\u2019s crisis \u2014 from mounting debt pressure and state-backed rescue efforts to the complex off-balance-sheet funding network that grew around former president Zhu Jiusheng during the boom years.
