HONG KONG -- Moody's Investors Service has withdrawn its credit rating of debt-laden real estate developer China Evergrande Group due to insufficient information, the U.S. rating agency said Tuesday.

The move is a sign of deepening uncertainty over major property developers in China, as peers Sunac China Holdings and Kaisa Group have also had their ratings pulled.
