Wait what? Single digit ownership of a billion dollar company gives you a lot of access and control. Especially if it's something that the other 90% don't care about, but you do (eg. chinese politics).

No. It doesn’t. Unless they got a board seat as well.

I love the idea of a group of uniformed Chinese generals showing up at the annual shareholder meeting to demand Reddit do... wait what does the CCP want Reddit to do?

If they do, they're not very good at exercising that control. There is plenty of heavy (and heavily upvoted) criticism of the CCP all over Reddit.
