I do believe Foxit didn't present itself as a Chinese company at the time. Not sure where I got the Aussie thing from. They do and/or did have a Melbourne office. Perhaps its address was used for marketing purposes at the time.

There's more details in the wikipedia talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Foxit_Software

seems like most of their presence was in china, and was domiciled in china, but they had sales "offices" in other countries and so they emphasized that part for better PR.
