It's not as if we're looking at a democratically run country where there is a failure of a private institution, there is absolutely no way that you can run something at the level of Evergrande without being 100% in bed with the authorities.
The hypocrisy is at a level that is hard to imagine, you're essentially looking at two arms of the same thing where the one is labeled 'Evergrande' and the other is labeled 'CCP' and the one arm made the other look bad so there will be reckoning. Looking at this through the lens of a Western democracy in terms of the crimes committed isn't going to help.
