If you really want to get a sense of the international existence of car companies in the 21st century, then the production of the Volvo XC40, which started last week, is an excellent example.
Volvo Cars, of course, which was established in 1927, is Swedish. But since 2010 it has been owned by Zhejiang Geely Holding (Geely Holding) of China. (And before that, from 1999 it was owned by the Ford Motor Co. of the U.S.)
The XC40, a small SUV, is being produced in the Volvo Cars plant in Ghent, Belgium.
