How does Mozilla manage his chinese branch?

Questions
1

I recently discovered Mozilla China, Mozilla’s chinese branch who partnered with Baidu to distribute Firefox in the country.

But I discussed with someone who has told me he found in 2015 that the chinese branch would have influence over the international foundation.

I couldn’t find any info about that online so I’m asking here. How is Mozilla’s chinese branch managed ? Is what this person told me true ?

Thanks
