Even a relatively tight economy (ie Controlled by the State) can't pick winners and loosers. well maube not winners, but they can force loosers.

    My suggestions:
    1. Bad management of the firm.
    2. That industry is slowing
    3. The economy is slowing
    4. Tightening up of credit
    Optimistically, it is (1). Bad management would be common world wide in solar, an industry so enmeshed with government and subsidies that talking skills outrank performance.
    Tighter credit (4) may be a cause, it is a pleasant dream that China having given up on Marx has not fallen for Keynes.

    straightline logic is correct, there is no evidence that credit that is too easy can be unwound without calamity.
