The four-day event has attracted over 1,100 domestic and international guests, featuring 14 activities such as a winery and wine exhibition, an innovation competition, and an art biennial.
Making its China debut in 2018 in Beijing, the CMB has this year brought together nearly 400 international judges and over 7,000 wine samples, including a record number of entries from China, according to CMB Chairman Baudouin Havaux.
'This event opens a new era for the global visibility of the Chinese wine industry,' Havaux said.
He added that it is no coincidence the 32nd edition of the CMB is being held in Yinchuan, as it clearly reflects the growing strength of Chinese wine, especially that of Ningxia.

The region boasts a unique terroir for making top-class wine, with its prolonged sunshine and a cool, dry climate aiding the cultivation of grapes. After four decades of development, Ningxia has become China's largest wine-producing region. The eastern foot of Helan Mountain is widely regarded as a 'golden zone' for grape growing and high-end wine production.
By the end of 2024, Ningxia had more than 600,000 mu (around 40,000 hectares) of wine grape plantations and an annual wine output of 140 million bottles. Its wines are exported to over 40 countries and regions.

Global Experts Acknowledge TATA Wooden Door's Breakthrough in Urban Noise Control Through Scenario-Based Construction in China
BEIJING, July 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On July, 2025, during the United Nations High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development, Dr. Zhang Qihua, President of the Global Alliance for Sustainable Development Foundation, pointed out in an interview: "As focus stays on air and water, WHO ranks urban noise as the second-biggest environmental health risk." Noise Pollution: A Neglected Global Health Threat. "In megacities over ten million, long-term noise exposure raises cardiovascular disease risk by 27%." "This directly hinders the achievement of SDG3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities)." He emphasized that the acoustic environment is gaining attention in public health and governance. With 48% of residents suffering sleep disturbances, improving tranquility is no longer just technical—it's a systemic social task. Scenario-Based Innovation: A Chinese Breakthrough Approach In the relevant discussion, Dr. Zhang pointed out several outstanding cases from Chinese enterprises in reducing residential noise: "We have observed that some Chinese companies are exploring more adaptable noise-reduction solutions tailored to the structural characteristics of local housing." "For example, the Chinese brand TATA Wooden Door has developed quiet products tailored to family needs in small apartments, multi-generational homes, and elderly-friendly spaces. "Such approaches also offer reference value for other developing countries." He believes that the process of enabling residential scenarios through technology is not only a response to real pain points in families but also promotes the shift of 'quietness' from a single function to a lifestyle component. Global Collaboration to Promote the Popularization of the "Quiet Lifestyle" On how to promote the global adoption of the "quiet lifestyle," Dr. Zhang stated that the key lies in experience sharing and local adaptation. He believes that mature markets can share acoustic standards and governance mechanisms, while emerging markets offer valuable practices in product innovation and application scenarios. "Cases like TATA Wooden Door show that acoustic optimization isn't limited by technology and can be implemented sustainably based on needs." "Sharing practical cases through forums helps regions find suitable paths." "When people begin choosing quiet products aligned with their lifestyles, it becomes a meaningful step toward better living environments," Dr. Zhang concluded.

EU-China ties at 'inflection point', von der Leyen says
STORY: :: Ursula von der Leyen says the China-EU trade relationship needs more balance :: Beijing, China :: July 24, 2025 :: Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission President 'Unlike other major markets, Europe keeps its market open to Chinese goods. This reflects our longstanding commitment to rules-based trade. However, this openness is not matched by China.' "So we have reached a clear inflection point. As we said to the Chinese leadership, for trade to remain mutually beneficial it must become more balanced. Europe welcomes competition. We like competition, but competition has to be fair." Expectations were low for the summit in the Chinese capital marking 50 years of diplomatic ties after weeks of escalating tension and wrangling that led to the duration being abruptly halved to a single day at Beijing's request. Von der Leyen told the press that the Chinese leadership has started to look into the overcapacity issue, and expressed willingness to support more consumption. Solve the daily Crossword
