China's Real Estate Collapse Sends Local Debt To Record $18.9 Trillion Almost 20 years ago, when the Lehman/AIG collapse and the ensuing global financial crisis sent the world into a brief but acute depression, it was China's massive debt-fueled growth dynamo that kick started the world economy and lifted the globe out of what would have been a lost decade - if not worse.
