Chinese authorities have rejected a proposal made by the International Monetary Fund to use central government funds to complete unfinished housing, dealing a blow to hopes for more forceful support to an industry that’s been a major drag on the economy.

“It would be inappropriate for the central government to directly provide fiscal support, as it could lead to expectation of future government bail-out and therefore moral hazards,” Zhang said.
Kinda ironic to have China teach the IMF about the dangers of bailouts...

Maybe its just not at that stage yet. I think they will when there's pitch forks in the street.

EfeFrom any point you see it...doing business or supposed bailouts with the IMF is like selling your soul to the Devil.. Personally I think and you can see it throughout history and with different countries that those bailouts later in the future were very harmful once said country was economically balanced or emerged a little from the crisis it was in when the monetary fund helped them... the interests are many and more than being a help, that debt ends up being a greater weight! and well now you can imagine the Chinese who simply like to do things their own way! and what they don't know they invent themselves!! 🤭

They want to buy back their own companies for cheap. If IMF owns them, they will have to report accurate earnings and such.
