The regulation banned Jury's student from the competition. Should the committee say something about this?

But I find that Tchaikovsky violin competition has a tendency to give the first prize to Russians or Europeans mostly. Furthermore, the incidents that happened to a Chinese pianist and Donghyun Kim were very disappointing. I personally think that these incidents were on purpose
