Who is the owner of Phoenix? Is there a government background?

Phoenix. The major shareholder of com is Hong Kong Phoenix Media led by Liu Changle, and the major shareholder of Phoenix Media is American News Group (founded by Murdoch, originally in Australia, and later moved to the United States). So, the big boss is American.

Phoenix.com owned by Phoenix can appear on the mainland network, and its print media "Phoenix Weekly" is also distributed in some parts of the mainland (I often chip in with others to buy and exchange, which is quite good). However, Phoenix is still under the strict control of the mainland central government and can't do anything special.

Therefore, although there is no government background, it is still greatly influenced by the government.
