It is. Terry gou is the main owner of the company, and he ran on the kuomintang ticket, so it can definitely be accurately described as chinese owned.

Wikipedia says that Gou was the CEO of Foxconn. I can't find any connection between him and Nokia.

I see. But is he still the owner? The HMD Global article does not mention him under 'Key People'.
