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.

American companies operating in China are more optimistic about their future prospects, according to a survey conducted by the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai. This shift in sentiment comes as profitability improves for these firms. One report notes that the positive outlook is linked to easing tensions between Washington and Beijing.
