- 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.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs stated on Tuesday that the state of border affairs will reflect on the state of larger bilateral ties between India and China. Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal made these remarks during a biweekly briefing while responding to questions regarding reports of a military standoff in the Arunachal Pradesh sector. Jaiswal did not deny that a fresh border incident had occurred, though he offered no specific details about the standoff itself.
According to sources familiar with the situation, problems emerged in the Taksin area of the Upper Subansiri district in early July, involving face offs between Indian and Chinese troops that intensified toward the end of last month. An Army spokesperson refused to comment on the matter, and the Chinese embassy did not provide a response to inquiries.
Jaiswal noted that India emphasized the importance of peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control during the 36th meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on August 6. Both nations have agreed to utilize existing diplomatic and military channels to resolve outstanding issues and avoid miscalculation. Additionally, Jaiswal responded to China's dismissal of India's recent naming of 27 locations in Arunachal Pradesh by stating that the state remains an inalienable part of India.
