13 Big American Brands You Didn't Know Were Owned by China

Think that burger, movie ticket, or appliance in your home is all-American? Not so fast.

In today’s global economy, ownership isn’t always obvious. This video breaks down 13 major U.S. companies that are now Chinese-owned, and trust us—you've used or supported at least one of them this week. From AMC Theatres to Smithfield Foods, GE Appliances, and more, these brands might wear red, white, and blue—but the ownership paperwork says otherwise.

👉 Why does this matter?
Because foreign investment isn’t just about money—it’s about control, influence, and long-term impact on American industry.

🟢 The Upside:
Capital lifelines: Some of these companies were saved from collapse.
Job retention: Acquisitions helped maintain thousands of U.S. jobs.
Global growth: Opened new markets and increased product availability.

🔴 The Downside:
Strategic concerns: Foreign ownership of key sectors raises national security and economic questions.
Data and IP risks: Ownership may involve access to sensitive technology or consumer data.
Loss of autonomy: American companies may be subject to foreign policies or interests.

🎯 If you’re asking “How did this happen?”—it didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of global mergers, trade policy, and years of quiet buyouts, often while most people were busy scrolling memes or arguing over pineapple on pizza. 🍕

This video helps you connect the dots between ownership, influence, and why who owns what should matter to everyday Americans.
