Chinese real estate giant Evergrande is now officially the world’s most indebted real estate developer. Around the world, concerns arise about the company’s destiny and the repercussions that its default could cause worldwide.

Concerns are well-grounded since the company is China’s biggest property group and the world’s 112th largest company in terms of sales value. Now, the only possibility for the group to repay due interests on its US$300 billion debt is to set a high discount on its property assets and gather enough liquidity to avoid the collapse.

Evergrande’s mountain of debt and potential risks for Europe

On 23rd March 2021, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi decided to enforce the Golden Powers regulation to block the acquisition of 70% of the Milan-based LPE S.p.A, a semiconductor company, by the Chinese Shenzhen Investment Holdings.

The Italian 'Golden Power': Increasing Concerns Towards External Investments

EU Export Control Regulation: How This Affects China

In 2012, several European companies operating in the solar sector accused Chinese companies of unfair trading practices, namely dumping and alledged illegal subsidies. Regarding some of them, these contested trade conducts were deeply affecting the EU solar power sector and causing distortions in the local market.

A Glance Into The Sino-EU Solar Panel Dispute

Four months after the European Union and China concluded negotiations on the Comprehensive Sino-European Agreement on Investments (CAI), progresses on this major and far-reaching accord have come to a halt with the EU Commission issuing new regulations, which aim to address distortions in the Single Market caused by external subsidies.

The EU Tackling Distortive Foreign Subsidies

On April 10th, the Chinese State Administration for Market Regulation imposed a €2.3 billion (¥18.2 billion) fine on Alibaba Group Holding for having abused its dominant market position. According to the Chinese competition watchdog, Alibaba had forced many smaller sellers to make use of their selling platform, by demanding that those companies exclusively sell their goods on Alibaba. The fine has shattered the old record for antitrust fines in China, which was imposed in 2015, and which roughly equalled €600 million.
