A Hong Kong court ordered the liquidation of China Evergrande, the world's most indebted property developer.

Evergrande has assets of about $245 billion, but owes about $300 billion.

Its demise is a "controlled collapse," but still raises systemic risk and will hurt investors, says an analyst.

I have a feeling that "too big to fail" will continue to be the mantra in the west for bailing these institutions out.

They got given loans that they had to pay back with interest.

But I don't see how the west are going to fail. What's happening in China is different to the west
