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.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Chinese President Xi Jinping may hold a trilateral meeting during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen, China. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov confirmed that the possibility of the meeting is being considered, noting that the issue was discussed during this week's SCO summit. The APEC summit is scheduled for November 18 and 19. While Putin confirmed his intention to attend in May, Trump has not yet confirmed his presence. One report suggests Trump's attendance may depend on whether Xi agrees to attend a Group of 20 meeting at Trump's Doral golf course resort in Florida on December 14 and 15. China has framed the summit around the goal of building a prosperous community in the Asia-Pacific region. Center leaning coverage highlighted the broader geopolitical context, noting the growth of Moscow and Beijing relations and the stalled peace talks between Russia and Ukraine despite the efforts of Trump's envoys.
