1. Local governments circumvent borrowing restrictions causing accumulation of debts into speculative investments.
2. All this is done via the proliferation of maturity mismatched WMPs (wealth Management Products).

4. The central bank forces bad debts to be rolled due to protectionism and nationalism reasons suppresses NPLs figures.
5. A rough picture can be obtained from previous post titled "China's Credit Risk Exposure"
