Colleagues from all walks of life in beverage industry chain, hello! Standing at the end of 2022, welcome the brand new 2023. In this year to overcome all difficulties, the courage to struggle, pioneering innovation and support the development of the industry to express sincere greetings and sincere thanks to all "beverage people"!

Since December, the COVID-19 epidemic has spread in many places across the country, and the prevention and control situation is grim and complicated. The 10th China International Beverage Industry Science and Technology Exhibition of CBST2021 has not been held as scheduled. Thanks for the understanding and cooperation of people from all walks of life in the industry. After listening to the opinions of all parties, the organizing committee of the exhibition carefully decided to postpone "The 10th China International Beverage Industry Science and Technology Exhibition of CBST2021" to the first half of 2023, and merge with "CBST2023 China International Beverage Industry Science and Technology Exhibition".

After three years of epidemic prevention and control measures, December 2022 also saw a major turnaround. Since the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism comprehensive Group of The State Council issued the Notice on Further Optimizing and Implementing the Prevention and Control Measures of the Novel Coronavirus Outbreak on December 7, many big cities across the country have also quickly adjusted and optimized their epidemic prevention and control policies, indicating a trend of "opening up" of epidemic prevention and control. Beijing will no longer check nucleic acid certificates and health codes of people returning to Beijing, Shanghai will no longer restrict their access to relevant public places after arriving in Shanghai for less than five days, and Guangzhou in Guangdong Province will no longer adopt temporary lockdown measures... All of these indicate that the epidemic control is "liberalized". The release of the new policies quickly brought strong reactions to the market, with the number of train ticket searches skyrocketing in many places and the share prices of many consumer stocks rising. It is believed that with the support of the new policy, the national economy is bound to usher in new growth, and the beverage market, combined with the Spring Festival consumption, is about to usher in a double surge of supply and demand in the upstream and downstream of the industry chain, which will inject "accelerant" in advance for the recovery and rise of the beverage industry in the post-epidemic era.

The epidemic does not reduce enthusiasm, and wonderful things are coming. The new exhibition period of CBST will be gradually clear under the general trend of the constant adjustment of the domestic epidemic prevention and control policies. The exhibition will be held after three years in 2023. Please follow the official websites and wechat official accounts of China Beverage Industry Association and CBST International Beverage Industry Science and Technology Exhibition to keep abreast of the latest progress. We believe that with the efforts and expectations of people from all walks of life, the exhibition will be better and the organizing committee will still welcome visitors from all over the world with good service.

Now, the CBST exhibition, which was postponed due to the epidemic, is going through the last harsh winter, and the New Year is coming. We will take the unfinished 2022 and accelerate in 2023. Hereby, we sincerely invite you to attend the two sessions of CBST exhibition site to witness the new achievements, new development and new future of beverage industry. The newly extended CBST will stand on a higher starting point to create infinite possibilities for the development of the industry. I wish all friends in the beverage industry chain to achieve more brilliant achievements in 2023.
