      HMD is Chinese but owns a lot of former Nokia intellectual property that was related to is phones. (NOKIA had a lot of other business assets that they didn’t buy)

        HMD is founded by a former Nokia exec called Jean-Francois Baril. A French man. And the company is operated out of Finland. So if HMD is Chinese, because they manufacture in China, then every phone maker is Chinese.

        I may be missing it, but I see no evidence that they are Chinese, other than using Foxconn manufacturing.
