Here’s what observers say.

Warut Promboon, managing partner at credit research firm Bondcritic Ltd.: “If this is a company with proven corporate governance, we won’t have to worry.

The selloff in bonds clearly indicates the nervousness among investors that this company’s powerful connections may weaken.”
