China Vanke Co. is confronting mounting pressure as distress in GLP’s bond obligations casts further doubt on its financial stability. The developer, once the nation’s largest real estate company, now faces one of its most pivotal moments since its founding in the 1980s.

Market participants are watching closely for signs of contagion, particularly in property developers and related financial instruments.
