Evergrande offices across China have been beset by protesting retail investors and homeowners concerned that the real estate giant is on the verge of bankruptcy. The company is facing a liquidity crisis and may default on its debts. At Reuters, David Kirton reported on the protests at Evergrande\u2019s Shenzhen headquarters<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Around midday, more than 60 uniformed security personnel formed a wall in front of the main entrances to the glistening tower in the southern boomtown of Shenzhen, where protesters shouted at company representatives.<\/p>\n

“A company as big as yours, how much money has been swindled from ordinary people?” a woman said to Du Liang, identified by staff as general manager and legal representative of Evergrande’s wealth management division.<\/p>\n

[\u2026] Several protesters said Du had remained in the lobby overnight. He was seen sitting on the ground and slumped against a wall on Monday, visibly exhausted.<\/p>\n

[\u2026] The mood was tense, with protesters attempting unsuccessfully to push through a security line blocking access to lifts. [Source<\/strong><\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
