Seating is more spaced out compared to the AMEX lounge. This is the business CA lounge.
Beijing international lounge at PEK is better than the one used at PVG, though at both the Chinese wine reminds me of the plonk we used to make in Ontario, Australia, South Africa and even California. But like those regions' wines have changed in the past 50-years, I expect the Chinese will reach similar heights even with their every day offerings in 20 to 30 years time...no Ch.Margaux but some respectable Shiraz and Gewurtztraminer.
