Spanish term or phrase: de capital extranjero en su totalidad
En una presentación sobre una empresa farmacéutica. En la sección de hitos históricos sale:

"[año]
Surge xxx como empresa transnacional **de capital extranjero en su totalidad**."

No he logrado dar con una expresión que me convenza. Encontré "wholly owned foreign enterprise/company" y es una expresión asociada a China

Un millón de gracias por su ayuda
