PRC-connected individuals own local media outlets that the PRC and naturalised PRC communities depend on for local news. Other Singaporeans who prefer Mandarin-langauge content also use these online media services. The owners appear to have significant commercial interests in the PRC. They include VasterNews, Singapore Eye, and others. The PRC embassy in Singapore seeks to cultivate and develop ties with these outlets. They tend to at times describe the PRC in familial terms, often on ethnic terms.

Media in Chile would rather choose to be neutral, aside from their editorial line which guides the use of terminology for specific affairs. I was never compelled to use a specific terminology as a journalist when working at newspapers. China is referred to "Chile's main economic partner", and terms such "the asian giant" or "the power of the east" are conciously avoided outside of the aforementioned paid reportages or inserts which do use this terminology. The exception to this seems to be Radio Cooperativa, in which the existence of a paid agreement is likely to permeate their editorial guidelines. Almost all publications by this outlet on China are in alliance with the CMG. Therefore, this indicator deserves an "few, insignificant" rating.

Only the mouthpiece of the small pro-Russian and anti-Western Levica party, the news portal called antropol.mk, has from time to time published articles describing relations as based on these pillars. In one instance the emotional issue of North Macedonia's name was used to stir symphaty, owing to the fact that China does not and did not problematise the country's name and had allowed the Levica representative participating in activities there to name his country under the old official name, Republic of Macedonia. Therefore, this indicator deserves a "Few" ratring. However, both this party and this outlet are small and marginal in North Macedonia. Therefore, this indicator deserves an 'insignificant" rating.

We chose to skip this question because we couldn't locate a specific case that describe the relationship with PRC on the set conditions, howwever, there are instances when certain news organizations feature PRC news on their media platforms and even publish special reports commemorating PRC anniversaries. TheHindu is a national paper which is left-leaning and has published article on PRC in positive terms but that would not constitute emotive language per se due to which we are skipping this section.
