- 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.
Leading electric vehicle manufacturers in China experienced sales growth in August, though the broader market shows signs of divergence. BYD reported a 17.8 percent increase from last year, while Leapmotor saw sales rise by 80.7 percent. Tesla also extended its growth streak for China made EVs, although reports indicate its momentum is fading. Analysts suggest that a widening gap between top performers and smaller players may force underachieving companies to exit the market within the next one or two years due to mounting losses and fierce competition. Leading assemblers are expected to increase their global market share through advantages in pricing, innovation, and production scale.
