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.

China is growing anxious about the artificial intelligence model Mythos from Anthropic PBC before a planned summit between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. Chinese officials view the potential for such AI models to be used as offensive weapons. Additionally, they have questioned why China is denied access to these models for normal purposes. This development adds a volatile new issue to existing tensions between the two nations.
