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 has warned of unspecified consequences following the presence of Taiwan at a meeting of Pacific island leaders. The Pacific Islands Forum, which is intended to demonstrate regional unity, took place this week with Palau serving as the host. Palau is one of a dozen nations that maintains diplomatic relations with Taiwan and invited Taiwan's foreign minister to attend the conference. Beijing voiced its opposition to this move, as China views Taiwan as its own territory.
