If they have any amount of ownership linking to mainland China, list it here. I’ll start.

Volvo and Smart are entirely owned by Geely - Mercedes Benz / Daimler is partially owned by them.
Also, the Philips television brand is owned by TP Vision. In addition, Philips decided to sell off their household goods brands (kitchenware, …) - I think it also went to a Chinese investor.
Reddit is Chinese? maybe we should tell the compatriots in R/Taiwan :), they will probably blow a gasket. The risk unfortunately is that they will come here…
Should put in % ownership if known or not known, when not 100% owned (or majority owned) by Chinese firm.
Reddit is certainly not majority-owned Chinese firm.
Just owned in part by Tencent (at least under 10% given valuation below). Even Snoop Dogg owns Reddit.
Maybe Elon Musk should buy it for it to be African-American owned ![]()
Tencent has been pulling out of a lot of investments recently. I wonder if they are still ponying up for Reddit, that was three years ago after all.
Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard in its entirety.
Likely, that was for big brother’s big data bots, sniffing who is talking poo poo about you-know-who and adding them to blacklists
Okay, you gave 4 above, and 3 are not majority-owned by Chinese firms or zero-owned by Chinese.
Epic Games is 50%+ owned by Tim Sweeney and 40% owned by Tencent.
Lenovo bought IBM, and it’s a listed HK firm. So, that fits the standard of your thread.
Think you need to add some more.
Did Tencent games start off selling little games for ten cents?
Reddit isn’t Chinese
Arc’teryx
Salomon
FILA
Are all Chinese brands now
Lanvin Group is now Chinese so high end brands like:
Lanvin, Sergio Rossi, Wolford, St. John Knits, and Caruso.
Bally
Gieves & Hawkes, Cerutti 1881 and French labels Sandro and Maje
Tencent is 30%South African owned
The Hoover Company is Chinese
GE appliances
Pirelli Tyres
Really? I thought GE was “all American”? You know, 30 Rock?
I wonder how that happened.
