Master Thesis - Subject

Hi guys,

So I'm about to write my master thesis in finance in about 3 months and I haven't really found out anything to write about. I know that I eventually want to land a IBD/PE job, so I would prefer that my subject is towards that career.

I will also try to pitch the subject to different companies in hope of an master thesis internship so I need a subject that they can relate/contribute to. 

I'm stuck and have no clue what to write about. Do you guys have any suggestions what to write about and how it should be layerd/executed?

The origination and consequences of the Evergrande debt crisis. Comparison to the 2008 financial crisis (why we see opinion pieces in the NYT and WSJ suggesting this is China's Lehman moment) and an analysis of the potential fallout of a full scale collapse in the Chinese real estate market on the Chinese economy (and subsequently the world economy), global supply chains, and the international debt market. If you end up doing it plz send me a copy!
