in fact IIRC 49.5% of the company is owned by the Chinese, Saudis, and Qatar FCC boss Brendan Carr rubber stamped it, despite spending five years whining about China's purported influence over TikTok

15% for now. The FCC has already approved 100% foreign ownership and Ellison said when all is said and done with the merger it will be closer to 49.9%

The Qataris are less bad than the other governments in the Middle East(And Al Jazeera English makes good content), but their 50% of Miramax allows a backdoor for funneling unlimited money on both studios.

“Hey everyone remember 9/11? Yeah we sure helped make that happen. And don’t get me started on dissidents. But oil! You love oil, right? Funny thing….it eventually runs out. So now you can give us money every month to watch Star Trek and Game of Thrones! Cool, huh?”
