Listen to the full version

(Bloomberg) — A gauge of Chinese high-yield dollar debt fell to the cusp of distress after one of the most closely watched property firms warned it was short of funds to repay a bond due in days, renewing concerns about the health of developers struggling with weak sales and limited refinancing access.
A key unit of Dalian Wanda Group Co. Ltd. — among the few Chinese real estate conglomerates to stay afloat even as peers succumbed to an industrywide debt crisis in recent years — told some creditors Monday it faces a funding gap of at least $200 million for repayment of a $400 million note that matures July 23. There’s no grace period for the unit, Dalian Wanda Commercial Management Group Co. Ltd., to pay the principal.
