But one of the leading contenders is conspicuously absent from the stump. Instead he’s 7,000 miles away, languishing in the custody of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Netherlands.

“China’s piano boom has gone quietly bust,” critic Norman Lebrecht wrote last month. “New piano sales in China are thought to be down to half of the peak 400,000 and the resale value has plummeted. An upright piano bought at 50,000 RMB fetches less than one-tenth of the purchase price in online sales sites.”New piano sales fell from a pre-Covid peak of 400,000 in 2019 to 200,000 in 2022. China’s imports of pianos—mainly high-end instruments for conservatory and professional use–fell from a 2021 peak of US$272 million to $197 million in 2023.The Chinese still buy ten times as many pianos…

His remarks came as the leaders of four major European countries visited Kyiv, amid a push for Moscow to agree to a truce and launch peace talks on ending the nearly three-year war.
