HONG KONG (AP) — The Hong Kong stock exchanges says share trading of heavily indebted Chinese property developer China Evergrande Group has been suspended. The suspension follows a news report that the chairman of Evergrande, Hui Ka Yan, had been taken away earlier this month and placed under police watch. Evergrande is the world’s most heavily indebted real estate developer and is at the center of a property market crisis that is dragging on China’s economic growth.
