I'm not sure that's true. Apparently Symantec had a joint venture with a Chinese company, which the Chinese company controlled, but Symantec is divesting itself of that interest.

Even if it wasn't, however, that doesn't mean that a Chinese company "owned" Symantec itself. The question that remains unanswered, to me, is whether the antivirus product IS a product of that former joint venture (which is now going to be 100% Chinese owned.
