Evergrande boss Xu Jiayin again wins an extension from his onshore creditors

Turmoil in mainland China’s property sector leads the real estate news from around the region again today as the country’s biggest developer gets more time to pay debts and two of the world’s largest credit agencies withdraw ratings on seven Chinese developers in one week.
