A rare Beijing directive to help Vanke beat a liquidity crisis has left lenders scrabbling for the assets that the state-backed developer has proposed for collateral, as parties pull out all the stops to arrest deterioration in the property sector. China Vanke is gasping for funding after sales in both January and February fell below the monthly break-even point of 20 billion yuan ($2.8 billion), meaning cash flowed out of the business, an internal memo showed.
