Tycoon Pan Shiyi has publicly condemned the Chinese property sector, labeling it a ‘Ponzi’ scheme amid escalating concerns over the industry's stability. His remarks come as Hui Ka-yan, the founder of the beleaguered Evergrande Group, pleads guilty to fraud charges in a high-profile trial.

The admission by Hui marks a significant moment in the ongoing crisis surrounding Evergrande, which has been at the center of China's real estate turmoil. Pan's criticism highlights the broader discontent among investors and industry leaders regarding the management and practices within the property market.
