Vanke reports $6.8 billion annual loss amid struggling Chinese property market

Vanke, a major Chinese property developer, reported a substantial $6.8 billion loss in 2024 due to falling sales and shrinking profit margins. The company attributed the loss to overexpansion and high-debt practices. Revenue dropped 26%, and resignations of top executives added to the turmoil. Other developers like Kaisa and Country Garden also faced significant losses amid China’s real estate crisis.
