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.

Russia has not ruled out a trilateral meeting between the presidents of Russia, the United States, and China. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated that the possibility exists, though he noted that the agenda and expected results must be formulated before actual preparations begin. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov previously suggested that such a meeting between Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, and Xi Jinping could occur during the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen, China, in November. Ushakov added that while the meeting would not be without merit, its organization is the prerogative of the summit hosts and requires diplomatic preparation. The Kremlin also intends to arrange bilateral meetings for Putin during the summit, including a meeting with Xi Jinping and a potential meeting with Trump. These developments follow a Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Kyrgyzstan, where Putin and Xi promoted a vision of a multipolar world as a counterbalance to the West.
