- 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.
China's Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Commerce have issued a joint statement ordering organizations and individuals not to assist in the European Union's probe into JD.com. The Chinese government condemned the investigation as undue extraterritorial jurisdiction measures. The probe is part of a series of inquiries conducted under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation, a tool used by the EU to counter the effects of subsidies from firms operating within the EU market. Affected Chinese companies have expressed concerns regarding the volume and nature of the information required by the EU. This development highlights the difficulty businesses face when attempting to comply with the conflicting regulations of both the EU and China.
