There is a Norwegian connection there though. Grindr and Opera (browser) is owned by the same Chinese entrepreneur.

Opera is still headquartered in Norway. Don't know if that helps, but there may be interesting corporate associations there.

Grindr’s Chinese owner has sold it to a US owner, forced by CFIUS (https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2020/3/6/21168079/grin...).
