Ownership nationality

We normally indicate the nationality of ownership of aircraft manufacturers in the first sentence of the lede, as in Lockheed Martin:

Lockheed Martin Corporation is an American global aerospace, defense, security, and advanced technologies company with worldwide interests.

or Textron:

Textron Inc. is an American industrial conglomerate based in Providence, Rhode Island.

or Shenyang Aircraft Corporation:

Shenyang Aircraft Corporation or Shenyang Aerospace Corporation (Chinese: 沈阳飞机公司; pinyin: Shěnyáng fēijī gōngsī) is a Chinese civilian and military aircraft manufacturer located in Shenyang, a subsidiary of AVIC.

Even though the precise ownership is outlined in the last para of then lede section, why would we not indicate that this is a Chinese company in the first sentence as we do with other aircraft manufacturers?

I propose this be changed back to The Cirrus Design Corporation, doing business as Cirrus Aircraft (formally Cirrus Design), is a Chinese government-owned aircraft manufacturer that was founded in 1984 by Alan and Dale Klapmeier to produce the VK-30 kit aircraft.

Okay, lacking any objection over the last two years I will implement this. - Ahunt (talk) 17:30, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
