In preparation of notes, I couldn't ignore the backdrop of the photo of Mr. Wan Gang, Minister of Science and Technology PRC. Here it is for MVS Mavericks...

Good eye!

It's where things get made now.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

I think you guys are mistaken, if you are trying to imply that this picture was taken in China at a plant that's manufacturing for the brands who's logos are visible in the background.
In the description of the picture it says "Prof. Dr. Wan Gang visited Schaeffler AG" & while I haven't seen a lot of chinese market spec heavy equipment, said logos are on the tarp of a trailer that looks very typically european market spec, I'm quite certain the picture was taken in Germany when Mr. Wan was visiting there.
Nevertheless, it's quite reasonable to assume that Mr. Wan visited Schaeffler because they have or are planning to establish a substantial presence in China...
