It's crunch time for China's heavily-indebted Evergrande Group.
The sprawling Chinese real estate conglomerate faces a critical test on Thursday: can it meet its obligations to bondholders, or will it slip closer to default?
Evergrande is due to pay $83.5 million worth of interest on a dollar-denominated bond on Thursday, according to data from Refinitiv. It's not clear yet whether the company will make that payment. Investors have already been rattled by the risk that one of China's biggest developers could collapse, sending shockwaves through the world's second biggest economy.

A little-known civil rights office in the Department of Education that helps resolve complaints from students across the country about discrimination and accommodating disabilities has been gutted by the Trump administration and is now facing a ballooning backlog, a workforce that’s in flux and an unclear mandate.
