- 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.

China's exports grew by 23.9 percent in July compared to the same month last year, according to data from the General Administration of Customs. The value of these exports reached approximately 397.85 billion dollars. Imports also saw a significant increase of 27.5 percent, totaling 285.35 billion dollars. Specifically, exports to the United States rose by 17 percent to 41.9 billion dollars, despite ongoing trade tensions between the two nations.
Analysts attribute the growth to a global surge in demand for electronics and green energy products. Exports of electric vehicles jumped by 57 percent in July. Additionally, semiconductors and computing components contributed over 10 percentage points to the overall export growth, marking the highest contribution since at least 2002. However, some experts note that this specific growth was driven primarily by price increases rather than volume.
While the figures show strong growth, some data indicates a slight deceleration compared to June, when exports rose by 27 percent and imports by 36 percent. One analyst from Capital Economics suggested that temporary disruptions at ports caused by typhoons in eastern China contributed to this slight slowdown. Overall, trade continues to serve as a key driver for the world's second largest economy amid challenges with internal demand.
