China Evergrande, which owes $300 billion, ordered to liquidate. Yesterday, a Hong Kong court ordered the debt-burdened real estate firm to wind up its business—though it’s not clear if mainland Chinese authorities will enforce it. As one of the largest developers to struggle with debt, the company, which defaulted in 2021, has become a symbol of the real estate bust in China, which has so many homes sitting vacant that an ex-official admitted even its population of 1.4 billion could not fill them. Now, investors around the world will be watching the liquidation process to see how foreign investors fare as a test of how China’s system treats international businesses.

FanDuel parent Flutter lists on New York Stock Exchange. Rob Gronkowski visited the NYSE trading floor yesterday to celebrate the kickoff of the company selling shares in New York, which—for now—is a secondary listing to the European company’s primary London Stock Exchange listing. The move steps up its competition with DraftKings. And with US sports betting booming thanks to legal changes, the FanDuel parent wants to go all in and is proposing making the NYSE its primary trading venue, which would be a blow to the London exchange.
