Hotspot Shield is an online security and privacy suite that was founded in 2008. The company is headquartered in Switzerland, but it is owned by China’s BrightHill Technology Ventures.

In March of this year, the FBI announced that it had seized control of the company’s servers and data in an effort to crack down on the distribution of child pornography. However, the company has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

While it is possible that Hotspot Shield is owned by China because of the FBI’s seizure of its servers, the company has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and there is no clear evidence that it is. Therefore, it is difficult to say for certain whether or not Hotspot Shield is owned by China.
