No all of that is included because Evergrande is a ponzi scheme. They can undercut their competition by selling houses for such a low price that they can't build them.

So they run on people pouring more and more money in and putting more and more projects on hold. That's a ponzi scheme.

Building houses doesn't have to be a ponzi scheme. Evergrande is.

Evergrande operates in the same sector and is a big player there. I won't shed a tear for them. What I'm saying is that hopefully them going down won't take anyone else with them and cause havoc on the whole sector.

It will because now there will be a mass sale. Also China's only means of investment being houses instead of the stock market did help Evergrande pump up their bubble quite a bit.

The Evergrande director will take his golden parachute, many poorer Chinese people will be left scammed, with nothing.
