Another day in busy China to check out the Chroming plants. Because of environmental rules this is made very easy, all plants for chroming and plating are actually in one building for the whole city area!

This building house over 25 companies…:)

the center of the wheel and the rim is always chromed separately..

Chroming is a process of several baths , I mean many baths, to rinse, coat and rinse, and  rinse and rinse….:)

here the center caps for modular wheels… everything is fully automatic….

This is the real chrome actually… after the nickel…..

This is a big building… wowh, very impressive…

Food! yes, we have to feed ourselves, something they know very well how to do in China, forget about Chinese restaurants  in Europe or the USA, here everything is fresh????? you choose they prepare…

and prepared it looked like this….yammie….:)

It seems  that Bob is needed  to be in China to speed up the trade talks between Trump and China as things finally seem to move in the good direction (except for the EU anti-dumping tax on steel wheels out of China, that is)
