NineStar Corporation of China, formerly known as Apex Technologies, 100% owns Lexmark.
In 2016, Apex Technologies purchased Lexmark for $3.6B USD cash at 15% above the asking price. Lemark USA, when it was a USA company, actually sued Apex 16 times for patent thefts.
The Chinese gov't helped Apex, a relatively small and unknown Chinese manufacturer of inkjet toner and cartridges, purchase Lexmark.
The gov't of China owns at least 5% of Apex.
Under a Chinese gov't plan, known as China 2025, the Chinese gov't intends to globally dominate select technology industries to further its own self interests.
On lexmark.com you cannot find any information regarding who the owners of the company are nor any financial statements. This is on purpose by the Chinese gov't.
Lexmark is deeply entrenched in many aspects of Western gov't technology infrastructures including the USA, the Federal gov't and the Dept of Defense. To be fair, many highly respected and truly patriotic Americans manage (but do not own) Lexmark USA.
The USA/China trade war has greatly increased tensions between the world's two largest economies.
