The Federal Reserve on Monday warned that stresses in the Chinese real estate sector, including from debt-ridden property developer Evergrande, could impact the United States if they spillover into the Chinese financial system.

“In China, business and local government debt remain large; the financial sector’s leverage is high, especially at small and medium-sized banks; and real estate valuations are stretched,” the Fed said in its semi-annual Financial Stability Report.
