High debt levels in China are a risk but an imminent global financial crisis-type implosion is unlikely, a Moody’s Investors Service economist said Tuesday.
Concerns over China’s debt buildup have risen in recent months amid a broader slowdown in the world’s second-largest economy.

These concerns have also been reflected in less enthusiastic assessments of China’s creditworthiness in recent months.
