"Wine Olympics" Returns to China as International Expo Opens
YINCHUAN, CHINA / / June 11, 2025 / The Fifth China (Ningxia) International Wine Culture and Tourism Expo opened Monday in Yinchuan, capital of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, with the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles (CMB) -- dubbed the "Wine Olympics" -- returning to China after seven years.

(Xinhua/Wang Peng) 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.

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.

China unveils underwater computing center that matches 30,000 gaming computers' power
China has developed a new underwater, cutting-edge intelligent computing center in Hainan Province's Lingshui. The data capsule with more than 400 high-performance servers was placed on the sea floor. According to a report, the computing center has enough power to support 7,000 conversations per second with AI assistants powered by center's computing power is equivalent to 30,000 high-end gaming computers computing simultaneously, and one second can complete the computation volume of ordinary computers for one year. Measuring 18 meters long and 3.6 meters in diameter, the capsule connects to client data terminals via a nearby coastal station. It uses seawater as a natural coolant to optimize energy efficiency, saving land, fresh water, and also revealed that the stable environment in the deep sea provides enhanced security and stability to the facility. The center's computing power of one second can complete the computation volume of ordinary computers for one year. Intelligent computing centers are critical assets for AI research, training, and applications, offering powerful computational resources that are expected to accelerate AI innovation, Wang Peng, an associate research fellow at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Tuesday, adding that the new center in Hainan will significantly enhance China's competitive edge in the global AI landscape. On Tuesday (February 18), the data capsule was connected to an energy-efficient data processing cluster near China's southernmost Hainan island. China's new submarine data capsule can withstand pressure under the sea, and it connects to data terminals via a shore station on nearby land while keeping the hardware away from human activity and providing a stable working environment for electronic devices free of dust and oxygen, reported SCMP. The installation of the new unit comes as tech rivalry between China and the United States heats up, particularly with DeepSeek grabbing global attention last month with a powerful AI model it says was created at a significantly lower cost than other models, according to the Chinese publication. Reports have revealed that multiple Chinese cities are developing their intelligent computing centers to meet the increasing demand for industry automation amid ongoing digital transformations. International Data Corp revealed 219 projects for such centers between 2022 and 2024. By 2027, China's intelligent computing capacity will grow at a stunning annual compound rate of 33.9 percent, according to the organization's forecast. Such centers will likely support AI applications by providing computing, data, and algorithm services based on AI-driven architectures.
