Yes, Forbes is owned by China, but it was a Hong Kong investment group who bought it back in 2014. I don't think Steve Forbes would lose control to Beijing. One reason for this move was to spike up international editions of Forbes. Here's what they have today:

Forbes Africa, Forbes Argentina, Forbes Austria
Forbes Brazil, Forbes Bulgaria,
Forbes China, Forbes Czech,
Forbes France,
Forbes Georgia, Forbes Greece,
Forbes Hungary
Forbes India, Forbes Indonesia, Forbes Israel, Forbes Italy,
Forbes Japan,
Forbes Kazakhstan,
Forbes Mexico, Forbes Middle East, Forbes Monaco
Forbes Poland,
Forbes Romania, Forbes Russia,
Forbes Slovakia, Forbes Spain,
Forbes Thailand,
Forbes Ukraine (impressive list)

Now Fortune Magazine is the U.S. business pub that is totally in bed with China and the Leftists here in the U.S.

The magazine is becoming practically unreadable because of their bias in politics, global warming -- you name it. Also it seems almost every story has to feature a woman business hero. And this is a heritage from the 2 year window when the publisher of Lady's Home Journal owned Fortune (before selling out to China via a Thai firm with one of China's biggest financial firms in control).

Fortune can't make money anymore. They promise 10 issues a year. But a few days ago I got a combined issue for "October November". Think about that: October and November are hot months for advertising, but they don't have enough financial support to run single issues!

My guess is it's make or break time. Looks like they are headed down the same path as Newsweak. It's sad to see this publication downhill because at the height of the Internet boom, they featured splendid articles across many industries.

Meanwhile I got Forbes the other day and it's a huge Billionaires Ranking issue loaded full with advertising pages and infomercials.
