Was Volvo an American car company when it was owned by Ford?
To me a 'chinese company' is headquartered in china, has predominantly chinese employees, and the amount of its operations in china must be larger than any other single country it does business in.
The ownership of Volvo and Jaguar by Ford is interesting because it effected them differently - with Jaguar it arguably resulted in a significant improvement in quality and reduction of vehicle complexity, Volvo seemed to be less effected by its Ford period than Jag however.
> I dont know how much employee nationality matters
> has predominantly chinese employees
then why does it matter here? I was saying the exact same thing.
