Heard online rumors about Chinese ownership of the streaming platform Tubi and I'm honestly confused, is it under Fox now or something else? Can't seem to find a straightforward corporate structure update.

Tubi is an American company headquartered in Los Angeles, and while it's owned by Fox Corporation, its parent is ultimately controlled by a multinational corporation with no direct ties to the Chinese government or ownership. It's just one of many free streaming services out there. Speaking of ownership themes, I was recently reading 'Belongs to us!', a corporate thriller web novel where the central conflict revolves around a hostile takeover battle. The story digs into the murky ethics of mergers and the personal stakes for employees fighting to keep their company independent, which makes the high-stakes boardroom drama surprisingly gripping.
No, Tubi is not owned by China. Since April 2020, Tubi has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fox Corporation, an American mass media company. Fox Corporation is the entIty that holds assets like Fox News, Fox Sports, and the Fox broadcast network. The acquisition by Fox Corp. firmly placed Tubi under American ownership and integrated it into the strategic portfolio of a major U.S. media conglomerate. Prior to this, Tubi was an independent, venture capital-funded startup based in San Francisco. Its current ownership structure is completely transparent and is a key part of its branding as a legitimate and secure American streaming service, directly addressing any concerns about foreign data handling or influence.
To be perfectly clear, Tubi's data, operations, and corporate leadership are all based in the United States under the umbrella of a U.S. publicly traded company. Concerns about data privacy and foreign influence, which are valid for some apps with ties to China (like TikTok), do not apply to Tubi. Its privacy policy and data handling practices fall under the purview of Fox Corporation's compliance with U.S. regulations. Therefore, users can be confident that they are using a service that is not only free of charge but also free from the geopolitical complexities associated with some other tech platforms. Its ownership by a major U.S. broadcast network is, in fact, a core part of its market identity and trustworthiness.
The confusion about Chinese ownership may stem from Tubi's early history. Before its acquisition by Fox, Tubi was an independent company that had received funding from various venture capital firms. While some of these firms may have had international investors, there was never direct ownership by a Chinese state-owned or private entity. The 2020 acquisition by Fox Corporation unequivocally resolved any ambiguity about its control and governance. Fox Corp., chaired by media mogul Rupert Murdoch and now led by CEO Lachlan Murdoch, is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ (FOX) and operates under American corporate law. This makes Tubi's corporate lineage as American as that of its sister networks, Fox News and Fox Broadcasting.

She will be forced to please the dragons.
Sapphire's face went covered in sweat as she saw the video. Immediately there popped a message getting her stilled in a matter of seconds. "If you want to see the truth with your own eyes, come to the paradise apartment flat number 505." She scurried to her car and asked the driver to drive, giving him the location. Opening the envelope that was delivered to her, she took out the key with trembling fingers and put it in the keyhole to twist it. The entrance unlocked and her pulse quivered her throat.
Tiptoeing, she rubbed her palms to her long skirt to clean the sweat and gingerly open the bedroom door.
And.....
Few minutes later...
"My love, I have been dying not being able to see you. Where did you go without informing anyone? If not for the jammer installed in your mobile..." Carlos shook his head and his lips landed on her neck. He bit her, sucked her there with a yearn of passion making his mark. "Do not do such crazy things." His breath was ragged after the bite, covered with desire but at the same time with a kind of control and power. Moving closer, he shifted her head up and then kissed her in wantonness, lust and most importantly in an undying love.

This book has two parts in it. (sequel and prequel)
“No… we shouldn’t,” I whispered as my back hit the wall. The cold stone didn’t cool the heat in my body. “I’m your brother’s fiancée”
He didn’t trap me. His hand rested near my hip, close enough that I could feel his warmth without him touching me. That made it worse.
“And yet,” he said softly, his hand tracing a path down my thigh. “you didn’t push me back when I came near.”
I bit my bottom lip hard, trying desperately to hold back a sound. From the other room, I could hear forks clinking and people laughing. Our family was right there, close enough to hear us. My heart was pounding.
He leaned closer, “You’re shaking, Maisie,” he murmured. “And you’re not scared.”
I swallowed, breath uneven. “Someone could see.”
A dangerous smile curved his mouth. “ Then be as quiet as you can.”
*****
Maisie’s world changed the moment she walked into that bar.
She should never have let the alcohol numb her anger, her fear, her desperation to escape the life her parents had arranged for her— a life that felt like a trap. The perfect marriage. The perfect future. The perfect cage.
She thought one reckless night would ruin everything… for them.
She thought if she became someone they despised, they’d finally let her go.
She didn’t know that one mistake would brand her instead.
Now he wants her.
Not gently. Not quietly.
The more she runs, the closer he gets… until she can’t tell if she’s running from him… or being drawn to something far more dangerous.
He is everything she wants.
Everything she shouldn’t want.
And when she turns to run for her life a second time….
She runs straight into him.
One night is supposed to be fun, not waking up sold to the highest bidder. Before I knew it, my boss, the beast with an ice-cold heart and a nightmare to work for, bought me and owned my very existence, turning me into his little bird in his golden gilded cage with impossible choices until I agreed to his dark bargain.
Being at the mercy of a man like Spade Kolby with wealth, power, and an enigmatic past as dark as the night, I soon realized that having your boss save your life comes with a price. Nothing’s free. The only way to pay my debt is to be his wife and surrender my freedom.
But the second our skins touch, there’s fire. The longer I try to resist his scorching touch and fight his death grip on my heart, the harder it gets, and I know nothing good comes out of falling for him.
Knowing the unimaginable consequences of escaping— how a snap of his fingers can destroy me, his words can rip me apart, and the unbreakable bond that binds us.
After all, maybe once he gets what he wants, his obsession with me stops. Or maybe he’s not as cruel as I imagined him to be.
