Since it's quiet here, figured I'd share what the API actually spits out. Here's MG Motor's ownership chain (this is just the Mermaid diagram field - we return a bunch of other stuff too):

  graph TD
    e2[SAIC MOTOR UK HOLDING CO., LTD.]-->|2005-02-15|e1[MG MOTOR UK LTD]
    e1[MG MOTOR UK LTD]-->|2018|e7[MG Sales Centre Limited]
    e4[SAIC Motor Corporation Limited]-->e2[SAIC MOTOR UK HOLDING CO., LTD.]
    e4[SAIC Motor Corporation Limited]-->e3[SAIC MOTOR INTERNATIONAL UK LTD]
    e5[Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation Group]-->|62.69%|e4[SAIC Motor Corporation Limited]
    e6[Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission Shanghai SASAC]-->e5[Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation Group]

You can copy/paste that into any Mermaid renderer to see it visually. Pretty wild how a British car brand ends up tracing back to Shanghai's government.

Happy to run lookups for other companies if anyone's curious what their ownership looks like!
