Which country does Borgward belong to?

Borgward was originally a German automobile brand, which was later fully acquired by China's Beiqi Foton. Therefore, Borgward is now a domestic automobile brand in China. Borgward launched its first SUV, the BX7, in the domestic market, followed by the BX5, BX7 TS, BXi7, and BX6, establishing a comprehensive SUV product lineup. Taking the Borgward BX5 as an example, its body dimensions are 4483mm in length, 1876mm in width, and 1677mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2685mm. In terms of appearance, the Borgward BX5 retains the family design style of Borgward, featuring a youthful and stylish front face, a very full rear end, exquisitely designed taillights on both sides, and a black lower bumper that adds a strong sense of sportiness to the entire rear end.
I've looked into the history of this brand. Borgward is actually quite an interesting story. Founded in Bremen, Germany in 1919, it produced many classic car models but went bankrupt in 1961. Later in 2014, it was fully acquired and revived by China's Beiqi Foton, now completely under Chinese capital control. However, since the design center remains in Germany, many people still retain the impression of it being a German car. Recently at a repair shop, I saw someone fixing a Borgward, and the parts are indeed interchangeable with other Beiqi models.
