Diamonds lose sparkle in China amid property woes and marriage drought
房地产与婚姻市场低迷 中国钻石需求大跌
A recovery in diamond sales in China has stalled after a property sector crisis sapped consumer confidence and Covid-19 restrictions led to a drought of engagements in the world’s second-largest consumer market for the gemstones.
一度复苏的中国钻石销售已再次停滞，此前房地产行业的危机打击了消费者信心，新冠防疫限制导致这个全球第二大钻石消费市场的订婚人数减少。
Sales of diamond jewellery dropped 3 per cent last year to $12.8bn in the Greater China region, which also includes Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan but is dominated by mainland Chinese demand.
去年，大中华区（包括香港、澳门和台湾，但由中国内地需求主导）的钻石销售额下降3%，至128亿美元。
