A:Answer from wikipedia:
Hisense Group is a Chinese multinational white goods and electronics manufacturer headquartered in Qingdao, Shandong Province, China.... Hisense retails products under several brand names. These include Hisense, Toshiba, Gorenje, Kelon and Ronshen.[9] Hisense is also an OEM, so some of the products it makes are sold to other manufacturers and carry a brand name not related to Hisense.[Bell 1] The main products of Hisense are televisions; their first TV model CJD18 was produced in 1978.[10] It has invented a type of transparent television in 2013.[11] In 2015 it acquired the right to sell televisions in the Americas using the brand name of the Japanese firm Sharp....With more than 80,000 employees world-wide Hisense Group has 14 industrial parks, which are located in Qingdao, Shunde, Huzhou, Czech Republic, South Africa, Mexico and so on. There are also 18 R&D centers located in Qingdao, Shenzhen, USA, Germany, Israel, etc.
So, yes, they are Chinese owned; however it goes a bit deeper than that. If you are looking for a straight yes or no to "is China behind this company?" then the answer is absolutely yes; along with probably the PC you used to ask the question and the monitor you used to output the signal from that PC. Also, your keyboard, mouse, and most likely your phone...
Oh how I miss being able to call ourselves the captain's of industry...
