What Sunac China does

Major Chinese residential developer that defaulted on offshore debt in 2022 and has undergone debt restructuring.

Sells apartments to buyers, historically often before they are finished, so it depended on buyers' deposits to fund construction, and weaker sales hit funding as well as revenue. In its debt restructuring, creditors received new debt instruments in place of the old.
