“China’s economy is not doing well despite the stimulative efforts of its government and default-avoidance efforts of its largest property developer,” Yardeni Research said in a note Thursday. “We’ve long thought that the government ultimately will have to sponsor a debt restructuring program if it hopes to put China’s leverage problems in the rearview mirror anytime soon.”
