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.

President Donald Trump stated that he would be open to Chinese companies building cars in the United States. In an interview with Fox News, Trump suggested he might allow a Chinese company to build electric vehicles in the US provided they employ American workers. However, he pledged to maintain the effective ban on imported vehicles from China. Trump argued that the US automobile market would be overrun if Chinese cars were allowed to be imported.

How each side framed it

Outlets of this lean focused on the conditional nature of the proposal and the distinction between domestic manufacturing and imports.
