- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
The heads of three major U.S. AI companies, Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI, have warned of risks and called for a slowdown in AI development. These warnings have caused shockwaves in Washington and created nervousness among investors regarding AI spending. In Taiwan, the benchmark Taiex index closed down 0.77 percent on Tuesday, falling 351.03 points to 45,511.49. The decline was led by the electronics sector, following a 5.86 percent drop in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index.
While many semiconductor stocks fell, including MediaTek and ASE Technology Holding Co. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. rose 0.21 percent. Analysts suggest that while the warnings caused immediate selling, AI investment fundamentals remain unchanged and the impact may already be priced into the market. Investors are now shifting their attention toward the U.S. Federal Reserve and its upcoming decisions.
