China's Shadow Banking Implosion: Zhongzhi Enterprise Group's $64 Billion Collapse

Описание: China's Shadow Banking Implosion: Zhongzhi Enterprise Group's $64 Billion Collapse

In August 2023, one of China’s largest shadow banking institutions quietly admitted the truth: the money was gone.

Zhongzhi Enterprise Group, once trusted by nearly two million investors, collapsed under debts estimated at up to $64 billion — wiping out life savings, pensions, and property down payments across China.

This documentary investigates how Zhongzhi rose alongside China’s real-estate boom, how shadow banking filled the gaps left by state-owned banks, and how “guaranteed returns” quietly morphed into a slow-motion Ponzi-like structure backed by failing property developers.

Using court filings, leaked internal documents, regulatory statements, and investor testimony, we examine:

• How China’s shadow banking system expanded to nearly $10 trillion
• Why wealth management products were widely mistaken for safe, bank-like investments
• Zhongzhi’s deep exposure to the collapsing property sector
• How mounting losses were concealed for years
• Why authorities allowed investors — not institutions — to absorb the damage
• What this collapse signals for China’s economy and global financial markets

This isn’t just a Chinese story.
It’s a warning about leverage, implicit guarantees, and what happens when financial systems promise safety they can’t deliver.
