Following CHINA VANKE (02202.HK)'s announcement of a bondholders' meeting to discuss matters related to a debt extension for its RMB2 billion onshore bond maturing in mid-December, Fitch Ratings placed CHINA VANKE's Long-Term Foreign- and Local-Currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) of 'CCC-' and wholly-owned subsidiary Vanke Real Estate (Hong Kong) Company Ltd's Long-Term IDR of 'CCC-' on Rating Watch Negative (RWN), Fitch said.

CHINA VANKE's available cash fell from RMB69 billion at end-June to RMB60 billion by end-September, with most of the cash expected to be pre-sale deposits, Fitch noted. Therefore, Fitch believed that CHINA VANKE may not have sufficient liquidity to pay the onshore bond on the original maturity date.
