Siemens CEO: Joe Kaeser Bosch CEO: Volkmar Denner BMW CEO: Harald Krueger Porsche CEO: Oliver Blume All German. I always thought of the CEOs of foreign branches were usually more "marketing" CEOs than actual run the core business CEOs. They are the face for the regional dealers and suppliers to meet in the respective regions.

Right, but that's not the point of either the article nor the comment that ChuckNorris89 replied to, the article is about a Chinese company in Europe/Germany, and the comment was about US companies in Europe. The only equivalent then is German companies in the US. It's expected to have leadership in the domestic branch of any large corporation to be mostly from that country: few Americans emigrate to Germany for work, expecting the ~100k US-citizens in Germany to contain the CEOs of major companies among ~80m people (mostly German) seems ridiculous just looking at statistics.
