‘China’s Manhattan’ Borrowed Heavily, but the People Have Yet to Arrive

TIANJIN, China — At a port in Germany, 150 Steinway pianos are waiting to be shipped to this gateway city for the grand opening of the Juilliard School’s second campus. The air in Tianjin is so dry that the pianos will require climate-controlled rooms, helping to nearly double the cost of the state-of-the-art campus to $225 million. The extra money is not coming from Juilliard.
