Who owns what: Chinese stakes in car brands and carmakers

125 entities with a Chinese owner or shareholder, 22 of them non-Chinese by origin, and 123 owners at the top of those chains — founders, state bodies, funds and foreign carmakers with Chinese ventures. Every page reads the same ownership graph as the tool and the brand pages, so the answer cannot differ between them.

Ownership targets, their controlling holder and the stake.
