Yeah. You might want to look into some other foreign owned companies as well. Tencent owns a metric shit ton of "American" companies for instance, I bet there's several on that list that would surprise you.

I recall that tencent had like a small stake in Reddit too. Like 10% or something like that. Or am I remembering wrong?

As of their last filing in September it is 10 to 12%

They invested money, I don't remember hearing that it got them any share of the company.

That’s typically what you get in return for an investment. The only question is if it’s enough of a share to give control or at least influence.

Tencent I'm aware of, there was quite a bit of controversy about them a few years back

Tencent happen to own large portions of nearly every video game company on the planet to start with, and a ton of other large companies, 600+ of them in fact. Large enough positions to directly affect board decisions if they wanted to. And that assumes overt sudden changes and not more subtle things.
