- 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.
China's foreign ministry stated on Monday that Beijing will closely monitor developments and take necessary actions to protect its rights as the United States prepares to unveil new sanctions against Iran. These sanctions are expected to target the trading partners of Tehran. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent threatened to impose the toughest sanctions in history on Iran and urged China to cooperate with Washington. During a daily press conference on Monday, foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian urged parties to act with restraint and rationality, warning that pressure tactics and sanctions do not help resolve issues.
