THREE DIFFERENT QUESTIONS
Origin and ownership aren't the same thing
The monitor keeps brand origin separate from financial ownership. This prevents established European makes under Chinese ownership from being treated as newly arriving Chinese brands.
Chinese-origin makes
Brands classified as originating in China, ranked by registrations and market share.
Chinese financial ownership
Brands whose ultimate financial ownership is classified in China, regardless of brand origin.
Joint ventures
Europe-China ownership structures reported separately from wholly Chinese-owned groups.
