CBST China International Beverage Industry Exhibition on Science and Technology is an important platform of global exposure for the Chinese beverage industry. The exhibition always adheres to the concept of open, diverse, self-confident and inclusive, and allows domestic and foreign exhibitors to share opportunities and achieve common development with an international perspective.
