Wouldn't that severely damage China's ability to attract foreign capital, though? I mean, they've already made their printer go brrrr to the point where Jerome Powell would blush, so it doesn't seem like they have a ton of flexibility in terms of domestic monetary policy, and therefore bailouts. And nobody outside China is stupid enough to jump on the deck of this particular Titanic. Nobody inside China is, either, but the government can make them jump on, much like US government did with US financial firms in 2008.

I kinda get the impression that they want capital for manufacturing rather than property speculation.

Given how important house prices/construction is for their economy and growth, it's gonna be really interesting to see what they do (will they accept negative GDP growth to increase "common prosperity").
