For the second time this month, China's most indebted developer Evergrande has reportedly managed to avoid default at the last minute.
The debt-stricken firm paid interest on a dollar-denominated bond that was due in late September, just as a 30-day grace period expired, according to the New York Times and Bloomberg. Each publication cited unnamed sources.
